Mozilla has a fix for this bug that we would like to upstream so that we can remove some other code for dealing with crashes caused by huge font sizes. http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/gfx/cairo/use-show-text-glyphs-if-glyph-path-fails.patch It was added in bug 715798: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=715798#c21 BTW, we have a lot of other fixes that you might be interested in: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/gfx/cairo/ there's a short description of each in the README file: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/gfx/cairo/README?force=1
So we fail to create the path, but return SUCCESS? I think you are papering over the bug.
I guess so. You should ask Jonathan Kew on that bug, he might have steps to reproduce the issue.
