Description Stef van der Made 2003-07-20 17:26:19 UTC 
Running the epiphany gives the following output

bash-2.05$ gnome-terminal
 
** (gnome-terminal:6284): WARNING **:
 --- you're entering a whole world of pain ---
bash-2.05$ epiphany
 
** (epiphany-bin:6290): WARNING **:
 --- you're entering a whole world of pain ---
 
** (epiphany-bin:6290): WARNING **: Cannot open font file for font
Bitstream Vera Sans 10
The program 'epiphany-bin' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'RenderBadPicture (invalid Picture parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 741 error_code 163 request_code 151 minor_code 8)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

A window shows up for just 0.5 seconds and then crashes. I've tried using
bug-buddy to fail and file a bug but this failed

Looks like a setup problem on your box. Maybe this can help you:

Anyway if it's a bug, it's an Xft bug.
Comment 2 Stef van der Made 2003-07-20 18:57:37 UTC 
I've looked at the fonts.conf file and do see the correct fonts in
there. Shall I reopen this bug and change the product to xft or open a
new bug for xft.
Comment 3 Marco Pesenti Gritti 2003-07-20 19:00:40 UTC 
I dont think Xft product is on bugzilla.gnome.org.
