Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS
Copying of Windows fonts to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msfonts then cache with the following command
fc-cache -f -v
causes Firefox 3 Beta 5 to fail with the following error
Warning: Error in parsing value for property 'height'. Declaration dropped.
Source File: http://www.google.co.uk/
Line: 1
Warning: Error in parsing value for property 'width'. Declaration dropped.

Line: 1
Deletion of /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msfonts solves the problem.
I did not have this problem with Gutsy 7.10 and Firevox 2

 Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

This is not now a problem using Intrepid 8.10 and Firefox 3.0.5.
