The OLN Tour de France site started crashing Mozilla and Firefox today. Konqueror works OK.

http://www.theregister.com/ is now crashing as well with Firefox 0.9.1. Maybe it was the Freetype upgrade I did this morning. WIll remerge Firefox and Mozilla.

Remerging Firefox didn't help, but downgrading Freetype from 2.1.9 to 2.1.7 fixed it.

Trying to resolve this issue I did some testing and have discovered that the pages in question do not crash if I set Mozilla/Firefox to use specific fonts. It turns out that any request to use Helvetica causes the crash when Freetype 2.1.9 is installed.
How can I find out which font is actually trying to load when Helvetica is requested? Is there some font upgrade/rebuild procedure that needs to be done when upgrading freetype?

Thanks.

Chris

I'm getting this in Epiphany, also with the new FreeType.
