User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021009 Chimera/0.5+

In the page http://www.wikipedia.org, I can't follow more than a total of ten
(on a good day) links on this site; Chimera crashes.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Visit http://www.wikipedia.org
2.  Click on any link to another page on the site (that's most of them).
3.  Repeat.  In my experience, you won't have to do this more than five times to
make Chimera crash.

Actual Results:  
Chimera crashed.  Actually, it renders part of the page, hangs for a second, and
then quits.

Expected Results:  
Umm... not crashed?  That's the best I can come up with...

It may be necessary to create an account at this site, go into the User Prefs
area, and set your skin to Cologne Blue.  I haven't tested for this bug with the
other skins, and as I'm using Chimera to write this, I don't want to find out
that it does crash and have to retype this thing :-)  I'll post a comment in a
couple of minutes with the results.
Attached file A crash
This is a crash log produced when Chimera crashes as a result of this bug.
It seems that the site only crashes when using the Cologne Blue skin, which uses
the Verdana font... perhaps this has something to do with the crashes?  *shrug*
Skin? What skin? Chimera doesn't have skins.
Keywords: crash
Summary: recent nightly builds crash at the Wikipedia (possibly font-related problems) → recent nightly builds crash at the Wikipedia [@ GetFontInfo]
Sorry, I wasn't specific enough.  The Cologne Blue skin _that you select in your
Wikipedia prefs_ uses Verdana, which may have something to do with the problem.
 Also, thanks, Greg, for cleaning up this bug.
I haven't experienced this crash since a little after I posted this bug, so I'm
assuming that it was fixed.  Kudos!

This started happening to me after I switched to the 10/26 (2002102604) nightly
build.  I experienced no problems with the 10/24 and earlier builds.  I checked
my crash log and GetFontInfo seems to be the culprit again; I'm not posting a
crash log again, as I assume the problem is the same.  If you'd like one, just ask.

Using Chimera/2002102704, the site refuses to remember that I'm logged in, so I
can't even try to reproduce this bug. (I don't have cookies blocked from this site.)
Well, it seems to be working again now.
