2008-11-01 02:06:29 Florian Hars ttf-indic-fonts: statusexplanation thanks for the update. subscribed font maintainer and moving to proper package. The cause of the bug is not in ttf-fonts-indic. After a few more experiments firefox was in a state where it would crash within seconds of every startup no matter which fonts were installed. Then I went for the radical way and removed all ttf fonts that were no hard requirements of other packages (like OOo) and xulrunner-1.9 with all dependenciesup to ubuntu-desktop. Then I reinstalled just firefox, and it did no longer crash, but everything looked like crap because every space was at least four times too wide. Then I reinstalled the rest (like ubuntu-desktop), which pulled all the fonts in again (including ttf-indic-fonts), and firefox still does not crash. But it still looks like crap.
