Description Sean Davidson 2004-11-22 10:56:12 UTC

Stupid mistake on my part exposed a bug in thunderbird.

When thunderbird can't access fonts via fontconfig support, it crashes.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change mode of font file in /usr/share/fonts/* to 600 used by thunderbird
2. run fc-cache -v -f
3. run thunderbird and try and read a mesage that uses that font.

Actual Results:  
Either thunderbird will crash right a way or when you access the mail message
that needs to access the font file.


Expected Results:  
It should have fallen back to some simple font, displayed an information message
indiciating no such font exists or both.

This is a bug to look up and report if it not exist allready at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ at best. Breaking fonts has nothing to do with the ebuild.

Don't know if you want to track this, mozilla herd...
