Package: mozilla-browser
Version: 2:1.7.3-2
Severity: important
When some font files in ~/.fonts are dead symlinks, mozilla crashes if
it tries to use one of those fonts. I tried the same scenario with
KWrite and GEdit, and both of them handle the xft2/fontconfig error
gracefully, plus the (limited) backtrace from libSegFault only shows:
Backtrace:
/usr/lib/libXft.so.2(_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE+0x0)[0x430e21f0]
So the bug might be at not detecting an invalid (null?) value from Xft
and passing it back into another Xft function.
To reproduce:
add some (valid) TTF font symlinks to ~/.fonts
update your fontconfig cache
run mozilla, set it to use some of those fonts
quit mozilla
either move the target TTF file or re-assign the symlink to a bad path
restart mozilla, it should crash when trying to display the font
This happened after apt-get upgrading. Some fonts in
/usr/share/fonts/truetype were moved to
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts so my links became invalid.
