Description James 2006-11-27 19:36:05 UTC
Whenever I load a web page with a Java applet in FireFox the browser crashes. The following is the terminal output:

james@hp-dv6105us ~ $ firefox
Warning: Cannot convert string "-b&h-lucida-medium-r-normal-sans-*-140-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct
/usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher: line 117: 17473 Segmentation fault      "$mozbin" "$@"
firefox-bin exited with non-zero status (139)

I have tried installing all of the font packages in portage, plus I have Win* fonts installed. This crash happens whenever I try to open a web page that uses Java in Firefox, It happens regardless of the user.

Here is my `emerge --info`

Nothing we can do about an incompatible plugin.
Comment 2 James 2006-11-29 04:38:23 UTC
That's helpful. Maybe I shouldn't have posted this to the Gentoo bug list. My rationale was that my entire system (except gnome-applets) is installed through Portage. I'll try to install the blackdown-jre from either source (if available), or from a binary package from Blackdown's site. I'll resubmit the bug to them if it still happens with the non-portage installation. I apologise if I posted this to the wrong place.
Comment 3 Elfyn McBratney (beu) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-12-08 12:41:50 UTC
We appreciate you taking the time to file this bug, however this problem relates to a binary package (blackdown-jre) which we are, unfortunately, unable to fix.  You might try taking this bug upstream to the blackdown people, though.

Resolving CANTFIX.

Comment 5 Ákos Maróy 2007-03-10 01:48:16 UTC
is it possible to make firefox use the SUN JDK on 64bit? I do have the SUN JDK installed, but it does not show up for a 64bit nsplugin option in eselect...
