I started to use the thunderbird today (Ubuntu 8.10) and I occasionally get the same error. However, my .fonts folder contains only one almost empty file fonts.dir, so this is probably not the cause of the problem. However, when I start with --sync options, I get the same error (sometimes again), but without any extra debugging information.
