Nothing odd. I found out it was the font named System that caused the
crash. Later I saw that almost all the .fon fonts from Windows crash it.
Courier and fonts named WST_* are an exception: they get drawn as empty
space that can be copy-pasted.
The non-Gecko programs that I tried draw Sans instead of the .fon fonts,
draw them as empty space, don't show them as available fonts or don't
draw them at all.
I found a thread about the same thing, but there someone says this
should have been fixed by now:
<http://lists.debian.org/debian-gtk-gnome/2003/03/msg00201.html>
Should a new bug be filed and where? Anyone else has this?
I'm using an up-to-date Sid.
