Priority:  minor       |   Component:  MSN

 === Description ===
 When using the font '''Ludica Sans Typewriter''' I can not send any
 messages anymore to the buddy. I get an error: ''Message may have not been
 sent because an unknown error occurred:''

 === Example ===
  * I open a chatscreen to a buddy.
  * I choose Font -> Font face, and select "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono" as
 the font face.
  * I type a message and send it to the buddy. I get an error ''Message may
 have not been sent because an unknown error occurred:''

 The buddy does not receive an appropriate MSG command anymore, but
 receives a BYE command. This command indicates that the other party has
 closed the socket - this does ''not'' indicate the other party graciously
 quit.

 When the sending party (the one that gets the error message) tries to send
 an other message, with an other font, it keeps getting the same error. The
 buddy gets the following commands directly after each other:
  1. RNG command is received (indicating someone is trying to chat with us)
  2. ANS command is sent back ("I accept the chat and opened a socket to
 the switchboard")
  3. IRO command is received (someone is already in the switchboard - it's
 the sending party)
  4. ANS command is received (indicating we've connected OK to the
 switchboard)
  5. BYE command is received (indicating the sending party has closed the
 socket)

 The commands are not fully given as it contains private data and is not
 really relevant here. The problem is with the sending party, not in the
 communication with the MSN servers and the receiving party.
