Thanks for the heads-up on strace. Both sites result in segmentation errors, it seems because of True Type fonts:
open("/usr/share/fonts/zh_CN/TrueType/zysong.ttf", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
and a different font withthe google search for emacs.
I couldn't tell that there was a dependable fix at the bugzilla page, and it seems that an attempt to fix it could result in not being able to get logged in via Gnome -- and I definitely don't want to risk that!
If anyone has ideas that I could try, please post!
Please try the rpms that I posted recently for testing to see if it solves this problem. The rpms that you want are all the Mozilla rpms listed here:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/testing/1/i386/
The bug that you are seeing is exactly the bug that update tries to solve.

Chris - which RPM's are they? I had assumed that the ttfont rpm's would be rebuilt so they would upgrade properly. Or is this an updated Mozilla that traps the font error? If the latter, is there a message output somewhere so the user knows that the fonts aren't all that they can be? Or would Mozilla silently work-around the corrupted font file?
If Mozilla works around a font-file problem, then the real way for Clint to fix the problem would be grab any extra fonts out of /usr/share/fonts/zh_CN/TrueType, then uninstall, re-install the problem fontset: rpm -e --nodeps ttfonts-zh_CN rm -rf /usr/share/fonts/zh_CN/TrueType rpm -Uvh ttfonts-zh_CN-2.13-0.noarch.rpm Then add extra fonts back in (if desired) Note that this package only provides ----------------- ttfonts-zh_CN-2.13-0.noarch.rpm /usr/share/doc/ttfonts-zh_CN-2.13 /usr/share/doc/ttfonts-zh_CN-2.13/arphicpl-gb.txt /usr/share/doc/ttfonts-zh_CN-2.13/arphicpl.txt /usr/share/fonts/zh_CN /usr/share/fonts/zh_CN/TrueType /usr/share/fonts/zh_CN/TrueType/gbsn00lp.ttf /usr/share/fonts/zh_CN/TrueType/gkai00mp.ttf /usr/share/fonts/zh_CN/default-bold.font /usr/share/fonts/zh_CN/default.font /usr/share/ghostscript/7.07/lib/CIDFnmap.zh_CN ---------------- It doesn't look like zysong.ttf is in the FC1 release, though the new zh_CN fonts might be equivalent (?).
