[Bug 309578] Re: thunderbird segfaults after password prompt

> Did you mean that it works with the font Tohoma?

No. It was the trying to use the Tohoma font that evidently caused the
segfault. Or was perhaps the first domino in a chain reaction. At any
rate, removing the Tohoma font (which had been copied along with a bunch
of other TrueType fonts from an old Windows system) got rid of the
warning message and the subsequent segfault.

I don't know that there's anything wrong with the Tohoma TrueType font
per se, but even if there is, it's too bad Thunderbird is susceptible to
segfaults due to (bad?) fonts. Makes one wonder if there's an
exploitable weakness there...
