Comment 27 for bug 173861

I'd like to re-open this bug. I'm using kubuntu-8.04-kde4.

I didn't actually install any new fonts. I was just playing around on my system and ran fc-cache -f -v. After rebooting, I tried to run firefox and got floating point exception. Any gtk2 app appears to give me the same problem.

I tried copying all the .font type dirs and configs out of another user's home directory (different system, probably ubuntu 7), and no good. In fact, the same home directory (mine) works just fine on a different installation, so it's something that's happened to this install rather than things in my home.

Comparing one install to another, I do notice that there's an additional directory in /usr/share/fonts called cmap (aside from truetype, true1, X11).

I also tried copying /etc/fonts/* to my local system from the other one. No luck.
