Maybe an yelp issue, reassign there to get maintainer opinion on it, would be nice to get it fixed for the stable coming :)

epiphany works around this issue by setting MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1 in the environment

Feb 11 14:43:18 chpe    ephy does this:
Feb 11 14:43:20 chpe            /* Work around bug #328844 */
Feb 11 14:43:20 chpe            env = g_getenv ("MOZ_ENABLE_PANGO");
Feb 11 14:43:20 chpe            if (env == NULL ||
Feb 11 14:43:20 chpe                env[0] == '\0' ||
Feb 11 14:43:20 chpe                strcmp (env, "0") == 0)
Feb 11 14:43:21 chpe            {
Feb 11 14:43:23 chpe                    g_setenv ("MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO", "1", TRUE);
Feb 11 14:43:25 chpe            }

patch to implement epiphany's solution

I need people compiling against ff 1.5 or on dapper to test this and see if fixes the issue.
Comment 5 Sebastien Bacher 2006-02-16 09:39:19 UTC 
The patch works fine on top of 2.13.5 on dapper
