Comment 4 for bug 274043

Hi,

got just today the same problem. It looks like firefox renders all the characters invisible. To me it just happened today, I did a simple update in the morning and in the afternoon at a certain moment the program crashed without me noticing. when I restarted firefox, all the characthers were gone, exactly as in the description above. The character are there, if I copy and paste somewhere else i can see everything, but in Firefox are just invisible. Tryed to change the fonts setting, but with no results.

here is my "ls -lArt /var/cache/apt/archives"
