Summary:
A zero size /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/fonts.cache-1 kills
mozilla 1.2.1 silently, giving no display & no clue why the exit occurs.
I built a FreeBSD-4.8 src/ & ports/www/mozilla along with 200+ other favourite ports
( http://www.berklix.com/~jhs/bin/.csh/make_ports_jhs )
Mozilla ran OK on build host. Then stripped my 4.7 laptop Totaly
clean (hand job, net cp of 4.8 DESTDIR, then mv of all 4.7 to 4.8
etc), pkg_add of my 200 packages. OK, except Mozilla.
A comparison of /usr/X11R6 on both hosts detected zero size files:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/fonts.cache-1
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/fonts.cache-1
I don't know how they occured, but /Type1/ was a silent mozilla killer !
>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1
mv fonts.cache-1 fonts.cache-1.MOVED
touch fonts.cache-1
reboot # OK, well, whatever to re-init the fonts.
cd ; mozilla
>Fix:
Add an error message if the font scan fails.
Perhaps in work/mozilla/other-licenses/freetype/
ChangeLog: (T1_Open_Face): Deleted empty subroutines array test to make sure
ChangeLog: * src/type1/t1load.c (parse_subrs, T1_Open_Face): Ditto.
src/type1/t1load.c: FT_ERROR(( "T1_Open_Face: no charstrings array in face!\n" ));
src/type1/t1load.c: T1_Open_Face( T1_Face face )
src/type1/t1load.h: T1_Open_Face( T1_Face face );
src/type1/t1objs.c: error = T1_Open_Face( face );
I've cc'd a couple of mozilla/freetype developers who may know.
