[peter]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040317
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040317

Mozilla crashes instantly when the "ALLOW DOCUMENTS TO USE OTHER FONTS" is
enabled.  The issue is resolved by unchecking the "ALLOW DOCUMENTS TO USE OTHER
FONTS" option.  Various web sites with custom fonts appear to be the cause of
the problem, the debug output that mozilla gave me is as follows:

(no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)...
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x28ea8d50 in nsTextFrame::Paint ()
   from /usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla/components/libgklayout.so

The output above appears to be consistent.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Make sure ALLOW DOCUMENTS TO USE OTHER FONTS is enabled
2.visit www.xfce.org
3.Once site completely loads mozilla crashes with no output.

Actual Results:  
Mozilla crashes with no output.

Expected Results:  
Loaded page with the fonts enabled.

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

WFM in Linux trunk 2004031508

WFM Mozilla 1.7a under WinXP. Probably a FreeBSD-font-problem.

Can you mention xft and fontconfig version you use ? Also attach
about:buildconfig output from your build.
Finally, can you reproduce this crash with Mozilla 1.7b ?

Resolving WFM per previous comments, and with no reply from reporter to last query.

Could be reopened if bug still reproduces in a current build.
