enable xft build crashes when clicking "format"/"font". This happens both in
composer and mail.
"Edit"/"Preferenses"/"Appearance"/"Fonts"/"Monospace" shows a long list of
available fonts (as expected). "Proportional" shows only "Serif" and "Sanf serif".


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. As described in details
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Crash

Expected Results:  
Duh - no crash, but a list of fonts ;-)

can you use gdb to grab a stacktrace?
% mozilla --sync &
% ps u -C mozilla-bin
% gdb _path_to_mozilla/mozilla-bin _pid_of_mozilla_
(gdb) b exit
(gdb) b abort
(gdb) cont
[make Mozilla crash]
(gdb) bt

and attach the result?

No backtrace as X locked (almost) solid when I tried the font menu. Had to
ctrl-alt-f2 and kill -9 both gdb and mozilla just to get back control. Maybe I
did something wrong as gdb went to background (flagged as stopped) when I did as
described. I had to "fg job-of-gdb" to get it back.

I could read this output from gdb:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
[Switching to Thread 1024 (LWP 553)]
0x4110a847 in NSGetModule () from /opt/mozilla/components/libgfx_gtk.so

jarmo@theboss:~ > /opt/mozilla/run-mozilla.sh: line 72:   553 Killed           
      "$prog" ${1+"$@"}

I hope this helps. If I did something wrong when trying to use gdb, let me know
and I try again.

if X locks up like that, start gdb from the virtual terminal (ctrl-alt-f2)
instead of an X terminal.

Is this a duplicate of bug 202515 ?

Reporter : is the bug still alive in a younger build ?
