Comment 1 Sammy 2005-10-20 12:07:19 EDT 
I am running i386 version of  firefox-1.5-0.5.0.beta2 on my X86_64 system and 
it is working fine with the new fontconfig-cvs (I do this so that I can use plugins like 
flash, etc which do not have 86_64 versions). 
 
So, it seems like something may be wrong in the X86_64 version of fontconfig-cvs.
Comment 2 John Ellson 2005-10-20 12:24:25 EDT 
I don't know.  I re-upgraded to fontconfig-2.3.91.cvs20051017-1 today, after
today's other rawhide uprades, and now I can't recreate  the problem.

I tried with my regular .mozilla/firefox/  configuration, and with that moved
aside to get a vanilla configuration.

The other thing I've done since yesterday is to log out and log back in, so
perhaps there was a corrupted font cache thats been cleared now.

Probably we should abandon this report unless I can recreate it.

Changed to:  WORKSFORME.
