  Hello,

  Well, i got the same problem. After some investigations, i ve found that
that the update of the freetype2 port from 2.1.3 to 2.1.4 was in fault.
(At least, while downgrading it, mozilla worked fine again here.)

With mozilla -g -d gdb
(gdb) run http://www.oswd.org/toptitle.phtml?id=992\&title=AstroBeeb
[...]
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x294faa10 in XftLockFace () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.2
(gdb) bt
#0  0x294faa10 in XftLockFace () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.2
#1  0x294cf1b8 in nsFontMetricsXft::CacheFontMetrics() ()


# cd /usr/ports/x11-fonts/Xft/work/fcpackage.2_1/ && grep -r XftLockFace .
(...)
./Xft/xftfreetype.c:XftLockFace (XftFont *public)
(...)


  I think, with all of this, that is not a -current relative problem.
  But I can be wrong.

  Best regards,
