As just said in a previous post, I am using lenny and lately upgraded
it. Firefox/Iceweasel fails to start since then:
[...]
(gecko:14849): Pango-WARNING **: failed to create cairo scaled font,
expect ugly output. the offending font is 'DejaVu Serif 12.798828125'
Segmentation fault
Try this:
$ export MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO="true"
$ iceweasel -safe-mode
[...]
Thanks, it did help. Actually, I didn't even need the -safe-mode
switch.
So what does (or does not, as the case is) pango do?
Pango is a library for laying out and rendering of text, with an
emphasis on internationalization. (quoted from http://www.pango.org/)
If you only read web pages in languages which are based on the Latin
alphabet then you don't need to use pango. Turning off pango is
sometimes even recommended as a means to speed up the HTML rendering of
fireweasel.
