Hi all!

On FC2test3 I installed Mozilla 1.7RC1 (binaries from mozilla.org)
and it crashed on a certain google SERP.
I then built the 1.7RC1 myself and it worked -> no X crashes anymore.

I thought this problem was fixed in Mozilla, but now on FC2release
and Moz1.7RC2 (binaries from mozilla.org) the problem is still there.

I googled again and found that this might be caused by *missing fonts*
Some folks have created symlinks to other fonts, but there are no
*.tff files to make symlinks in FC2release.

So building it myself back then (with xft) has fixed the problem with the fonts.

But there should be another solution than building it myself ?
Probably recreating fonts.dir and fonts.alias files ?
Or change something in prefs.js ?

Thanks a lot,
Hannes.
