I dont think the reason is incompatibility between 2.4.1 and 2.4.2 because
a 'rm -rf ~/.fontconfig/' helps only for one Firefox run, i.e. each time I
run Firefox I have to remove cached fonts, otherwise next run Firefox
crashes again.
I've downloaded fontconfig's source, however, I am having hard time
figuring out how to enable debugging?
For now, here's some output from a run of 'fc-cache' with FC_DEBUG set to
8191 :
tajwan:~/tmp/fontconfig-2.4.2# export FC_DEBUG=8191
tajwan:~/tmp/fontconfig-2.4.2# fc-cache
FC_DEBUG=8191

Package: fontconfig

I've got an AMD64 system with a i386 chroot where I install 386-only
applictions ( Firefox for the
flashplugin, Skype etc ). I am writing this report from within the chroot.
After one of recent updates, Firefox and Skype started crashing on
startup. 'strace firefox' gave
me clues that it crashes while trying to open cached fonts in
~/.fontconfig/. Indeed, a 'rm -rf
~/.fontconfig' makes Firefox start up and work normally. Same goes for
Skype.
Hmm. That seems to indicate that the files in ~/.fontconfig created by
version 2.4.1 are incompatible with those created by 2.4.2. As far as I
know, this is not the case though. And, in fact, the configuration
mechanism in building the library is supposed to automatically detect
when the cache files would be incompatible with the expected layout.
A stack trace against a version of fontconfig built with debugging
symbols would be very useful here if you can manage; otherwise, I
haven't a clue what could be going on.
Evaluating the differences from 2.4.1 to 2.4.2 (they are small) shows
little that could be at fault here.
