This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

reporter: could you use a talkback build again and get the talkback id again and
post it here again. and if no one gets the incident pulled in 24 hours, email
gerv complaining to him.
I can reproduce the crash in a debug build after installing the fonts.
It's a division by zero:

Attached patch wipSplinter Review
This fixes the URL (I see a bar code).
I'm not sure if this is a good thing though, maybe leaving the line-height etc
as zero would be more correct...
FWIW, Opera8 on Linux renders a bar code.
David, roc, what should we do when the font claims a line-height of 0?
my guess is that if lineHeight is zero then all height metrics should be zero.
We should warn if any from the font are nonzero and set them all to zero.
Using lastes-trunk it still crash the url
it not apply the path yet?
Once the patch is checked in, the bug will be resolved fixed.  That hasn't happened yet, because it's not clear that this patch is the right one.

Summary: Crash when i try view a page with font Code128 → Crash when i try view a page with font Code128 [@ nsFontMetricsXft::CacheFontMetrics]
If it does any matter now (it doesn't seem to happen on Trunk), the crash has also been spotted with a font called “Topiary Initials”: TB35680274M with 2.0.0.6 and TB35680527Q with todays 2.0.0.7pre. Crash on selection of the font in the font list.
Using last trunk (mozilla 3) work fine. not more crash. 

But still another problem: it text don't have correct position, 2mm above
i think this it another thread.
I'm guessing trunk is not crashing now because it is using floating point arithmetic for the division instead of integers.

It wouldn't surprise me if there are some OpenType fonts that have good metrics in the OS/2 table but poor (zero) metrics in the HHEA table, which is used on Mac and by Freetype (and thus Xft and cairo).

We could fallback to usWinAscent/usWinDescent metrics if the HHEA ascent is zero, or we could use the maximum of the HHEA values and the sTypoAscender/Descender.

Changes in bug 385263 now cause fallback to metrics in the OS/2 table if the metrics in the HHEA table are poor, so this should now be fixed (in nightly builds).
