Every time I visit a web page, I get an unexplained segfault (viewing with strace).
This has been occurring for 1-3 months now.
I've recently realized a GCC bug with Mozilla based browsers here: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=270120
I think on one segfault with Dillo, I did get a "bad var font" error, but later lost the url -- so I can only try to recall the exact error.
I doubt this is font related as I have several fonts installed. (Following is a quick search of "font" within package manager search function.)

Without a gdb backtrace or anything, I can't help but assume that this the fltk font problem showing up again...
Well, by luck, here's a backtrace with some good info. (Most of the other back traces contained little useful info.)

bad font: variable
Okay, good. Guess I'll have to start digging into the fltk font stuff again at some point. In the meantime, let's try to make it stop breaking for you. fltk's src/x11/Font_xlfd.cxx asks for "fixed" and "variable" under certain conditions. In my case, they seem to be (looking in /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias) fixed -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1 variable -*-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1 And then in my /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.dir, there's 6x13-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1 and then /usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/fonts.dir has helvB12-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--17-120-100-100-p-92-iso8859-1 and /usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/fonts.dir has helvB12-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-70-iso8859-1 Do you have whatever font 'variable' is set to in your fonts.alias?
