** Description changed:

+ === 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://people.canonical.com/~chrisccoulson/bug655707/
+ 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

- Firefox crashes any time I access a page that makes use of webfonts. 
+ Firefox crashes any time I access a page that makes use of webfonts.
  For example if I access the Google webfont page code.google.com/webfonts
  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
