This is mozilla 1.2.1. I didn't have strace, so I emerged it and ran
strace. mozilla was segfaulting while handling fonts.

A lengthy analysis of a good strace (collins) and a failure (new)
indicated differences in handling the ~/.fonts.cache-1 file. I tried
rm'ing the file and tried again, but no joy. Next I copied over the
/home/collins/.fonts.cache-1 file, and now mozilla will start.

This could be an XFree problem (?). Now that a usable
~/.fonts-cache-1 file is present, the warning messages I got from xfce
have disappeared as well. Does anyone know which packaged generates
the .fonts.cache-1 file so that I could investigate further?

No such file exists in Redhat. Perhaps this is something specific to
Gentoo?


I see there is fonts.cache-1 in the xfree-4.2.1.ebuild perhaps a place to start?
