For me the problem is because for some reason( bug may be ) firefox is tried to open ttf file for read/write so if you do something like this: $ sudo chmod -R go+rw /usr/share/fonts/truetype/* Your firefox will work again. -- [gutsy (mozilla ppa?)] firefox crashes on startup - Pango-WARNING **: failed to create cairo scaled font, expect ugly output. the offending font is 'Times 12' https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/152798 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
