Backtrace from crash

screenshot of unsuccesful attempt to reproduce
Cannot reproduce here with FF3alpha neither with 2.0.0.9. One possibility might
be something about the conflict between bitmap version of Lucida Sans from
xorg-fonts and the TTF ones from Java package?
Please, try to describe more details about your system to enable us to reproduce this bug here. Moreover, the backtrace is almost useless because it is the one only from one thread of multithreaded firefox. You have to run gdb command thread apply all backtrace instead to get all threads. The symlinks in /usr/share/fonts/java seemed to be dangling symlinks. I removed them and the problem was gone. Afterwards I recated the dangling symlinks by I can't reproduce the crash anymore. |
Description of problem: Firefox crashes on some sites. The problem seems related to some fonts, just before the crash ff prints out this: (gecko:2883): Pango-WARNING **: failed to create cairo scaled font, expect ugly output. the offending font is 'Lucida Sans 8.25' Gdb tells me this (first 13 items from backtrace in attachment): 0x00f1c6bd in nsHTMLReflowState::CalcLineHeight (aPresContext=0xaecb988, aRenderingContext=0xaf27138, aFrame=0xaf262ec) at nsHTMLReflowState.cpp:2224 2224 aFontMetrics->GetNormalLineHeight(normalLineHeight); When I don't allow websites to use other fonts then I've defined in the preferences the websites causing trouble work fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firefox-2.0.0.9-1.fc8 But ff 2.0.0.8 alsa had the problem. The version that can be downloaded from mozilla.org works fine. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make sure that you have Lucida Sans installed. It's included in the JVM's from SUN. When installing the rpms and the compat packages from jpackage these fonts are also available. 2. Make sure that "Allow pages to use their own fonts ..." is set in the preferences 3. Go to a website using this font. Like my own http://blog.zoeloelip.be Actual results: Firefox crashes (segmentation fault) Expected results: I can view the website!
