Bug Description
=== Test case for SRU ===
**** Note that this next step will crash Firefox without any warning or confirmation ****
**** Please MAKE SURE you have saved ALL WORK you might have open in Firefox BEFORE proceeding ****
1) With the current pango version installed (1.28.0-0ubuntu2 in lucid and 1.28.1-1ubuntu3 in maverick), navigate Firefox to http://
2) Note that Firefox crashes with a SIGFPE
3) Install the updated packages (1.28.0-0ubuntu2.1 from lucid-proposed or 1.28.2-0ubuntu1 from maverick-proposed)
4) Test again, and confirm that Firefox doesn't crash. You will either see some unstyled text or nothing at all, because the font is broken
=======
Binary package hint: firefox
Firefox crashes any time I access a page that makes use of webfonts.
For example if I access the Google webfont page code.google.
I have tried to disable all my Firefox plugins and still got the same issue.
I tried launching Firefox from a terminal window and the error message I get once it crashes is: Floating point exception
