Thanks Mark,
Your reply was very helpful. I already had explicit font
paths. I was, however, loading the freetype module but not
xtt (I have never used that module). I commented out the
instruction to load freetype and the problem went away.
I have now tried loading xtt instead of freetype and, so far
as a very quick appraisal can tell, I seem to have my
truetype fonts working as well as they did before and
Mozilla no longer crashes.
If you would be so kind, can you answer two more questions :
(1) Have I found a bug in freetype which I should report, or
is it more likely that something is wrong with my own
freetype installation? I should explain that this is a
fresh and first compilation of freetype2 for the purposes of
X 4.3 - I had used freetype1 previously.
(2) Am I losing anything by using the xtt module rather than
the freetype one?
Thanks again,
Geoff
