Working here.  Might be something specific to 1.2.1.

you don't want to run "mozilla-bin", just "mozilla".  mozilla will launch
mozilla-bin for you.

[Wouter van Wijk]

You might want to know, I still get this with 1.3a.

Comment 12

[Andrew Hagen]

Reporter, are you still seeing this in recent nightly builds? Alternatively,
please test this again once Mozilla 1.3 beta is released.

Comment 13

[Wouter van Wijk]

Can't find a nightly build with xft enabled. I'll wait for 1.3b.

Comment 14

Attachment: backtrace for moz-xft 1.3b

Comment 15

[Wouter van Wijk]

I'm sorry to report it still happens in 1.3b. I attached a new backtrace. On  
Mandrake 9.0 though, I don't have the problem with the xft-enabled build.

Comment 17

[Olivier Cahagne]

do you have Microsoft .fon fonts in your fonts directories ? Does deleting (or
archiving) them prevent from crashing ? Could be bug 180309. The stack is very
similar to the one from bug 224773, which is solved by removing MS Sans Serif
.fon files.

Comment 18

[Wouter van Wijk]

I don't experience it anymore with the Mozilla 1.2.1 included with RedHat 9. I
also didn't encounter it with the FireBird 0.7 XFT builds, so I quess it must be
solved in some way.

[Olivier Cahagne]

Thanks for your reply.
