Comment(by nitzua):

 Is there any chance of this bug being fixed? I've narrowed down the reason
 why Pidgin 2.6.4 is crashing for me, it's because of the font I'm using on
 my Windows XP visual style, Helvetica Condensed 9pt, to be specific. I'm
 in love with this font right now and I'm not planning on switching to
 another font just to run Pidgin. I've been running Miranda for the time
 being, but I like Pidgin better. As soon as this bug is fixed, I'll switch
 back, but consider me a user lost until then.
