It's best to use "reportbug" to report bugs. I'm using i386 on a Core 2 Duo. Sorry about not using reportbug, I thought bugbuddy (which is triggered automatically) would be sufficient. > I don't get the crash myself; could you please try with > epiphany-browser and/or iceweasel? I did some further analysis, and this is what I found: * Epiphany and Firefox (from mozilla.org) work fine on those pages. * Galeon crashes might be a font problem after all. This is what is being dumped to stdout/err: (galeon:4014): Pango-WARNING **: shape engine failure, expect ugly output. the offending font is 'Arial Unicode MS 9' (galeon:4014): Pango-WARNING **: pango_font_get_glyph_extents called with bad font, expect ugly output Arial Unicode MS is the default Unicode font in Windows. All pages that crash Galeon contain some non-latin characters. I couldn't find a single reference to Arial Unicode in my configuration, though -- not in the preference menus, and not in about:config. Interestingly, scrolling about:config some pages down _also_ crashes my browser. (I should note that other than Galeon crashing, my system is rock solid.) So, these questions remain: * Why is Galeon using the Arial Unicode font? * Is Pango the correct component for forwarding this bug report?
