Mozilla and Epiphany Die

[Clint]

Thanks for the heads-up on strace. Both sites result in segmentation 
errors, it seems because of True Type fonts:

open("/usr/share/fonts/zh_CN/TrueType/zysong.ttf", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT 
(No such file or directory)
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---

and a different font withthe google search for emacs.


I couldn't tell that there was a dependable fix at the bugzilla page, 
and it seems that an attempt to fix it could result in not being able to 
get logged in via Gnome -- and I definitely don't want to risk that!

If anyone has ideas that I could try, please post!

Thanks,
Clint
