The history plugin appears to be reading fonts in and trying to include them in new conversations. But certain log files are causing crashes. I'll include an example of such a conversation and a backtrace. I've only been able to locate such fonts problems for two of my buddies (siblings) that use the Mac OS 9 Yahoo! client. The HTML looks broken in the log file I've included. This crash only occurs in the post-0.75-gentoo-r11 releases (0.76 and up), as 0.75-gentoo-r11 doesn't crash. The work-around is the disable the history plugin. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable history plugin 2. Double-click on a buddy with a broken HTML log file that will be displayed. Actual Results: Gaim crashes. Expected Results: A conversation window or tab should open that includes the previous conversation prepended to the new conversation.

Created attachment 28919 [details] Example conversation that will crash Gaim 0.76-gentoo-r1 Be on the lookout for what may be non-text characters in the font tags.
Created attachment 28920 [details] Crash backtrace The file was a beast to copy and paste; there's apparently invalid HTML. I'm not entirely positive that the characters were pasted in correctly.
