Re: XFT enabled Mozilla/Firebird spontaneous exits/crashes after upgrading to FC1 from RH8

[Steve Lacy <slacy@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you very much.  I did some digging as well and found that the 
problem was caused my a mismatch between the files "fonts.cache-1" and 
the actual font files that were installed on disk (just as the bug 
described)

I found that I could move away the file fonts.cache-1 and solve the 
problem.  I presume that the files are regenerated when not found, but 
I'm not so sure about that.
