Version: 1.9.51 (using 4.0.4 (KDE 4.0.4 >= 20080505) "release 15.2", openSUSE 11.0 (i586)) Compiler: gcc OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.25.20-0.1-default Because I have poor eyesight, I wanted to increase the font size used by KMAIL. I used the following click-stream from within KMAIL: settings --> configure kmail --> appearence --> fonts tab --> check "use custom fonts" --> apply to --> select 'message text' --> select '15' from 'size' --> apply to --> select 'composer' --> select '15' from 'size' --> O.K. After doing this, KMAIL crashes whenever I close a window. For example, I might open a message, read it, and close the window. And KMAIL will crash with "SIGSEGV". If I go back into settings, and uncheck "use custom fonts", KMAIL will work normally. (But plain text messages (that is, non HTML) will be hard for me to read.)
Severity should be "crash", not "wishlist"
If this is reproducable, please provide a backtrace, see http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports for instructions.

Just a comment: your KDE version is a "bit" old. Try to update at least to KDE4.1.4 / 4.2.1
Upgrading to KDE 4.2 fixed the problem. As far as I'm concerned, the status can be changed to "resolved" or "closed."
I'm glad it works now. Thanks
