Comment 7 for bug 183721

I get a very similar crash here, and have verified it doesn't happen in the non-Ubuntu version of Thunderbird direct from Mozilla.

It happens only on specific emails in Inbox - one from a website I registered with, and another from an Outlook 2007 (on XP) account that I have at work. Both are using the Calibri font, which is the new default Font in Office 2007 and Vista - I didn't specify any special fonts on the email I sent from Outlook, just used the default Rich Text format.

I'm using Thunderbird 2.0.0.16+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.7.10.1 on Gutsy. Here's the output on starting from shell:

(gecko:5289): Pango-WARNING **: failed to create cairo scaled font, expect ugly output. the offending font is 'Calibri 10.5'
(gecko:5289): Pango-WARNING **: failed to create cairo scaled font, expect ugly output. the offending font is 'Calibri Bold 10.5'
(gecko:5289): Pango-WARNING **: failed to create cairo scaled font, expect ugly output. the offending font is 'Calibri Italic 10.5'
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I can reproduce this every time on these 3 emails.

However, running the non-repo version of Thunderbird 2.0.0.16 does not cause this problem (same profile, shell, etc). So this is specific to the packaging done by Debian/Ubuntu.

I am installing the dbgsym version of Thunderbird to help diagnose this - had to downgrade to 2.0.0.6 but hopefully that won't matter.
