If I have installed twmoefonts and I want change font in oowriter2. OpenOffice.org writer go down. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge twmoefonts 2.oowriter2 3.click on arrow to change fonts Actual Results: OpenOffice.org writer go down. Expected Results: Show installed fonts ;)
Can't reproduce that one, works fine here. Could you please post your output of "emerge info"? Also is this with openoffice or openoffice-bin.

Which versions of fontconfig and freetype do you have installed? Perhaps upgrading those could fix it. Similarly, how do other applications behave with these fonts?
epm -qa|egrep 'fontconfig|freetype' freetype-2.1.9-r1 fontconfig-2.2.3 freetype-1.3.1-r4 I mean problem is in generating fonts in preview. Other applications go good.
Could you try to use a testing version of both? First upgrade freetype, then fontconfig. Newer versions should have less bugs in relation to certain (buggy) fonts.
(In reply to comment #5) I tried both, but result is still same. from emerge twmoefonts: * Creating fonts.scale & fonts.dir ... Couldn't determine full name for moe_kai.ttf Couldn't get family name for moe_kai.ttf Couldn't determine full name for moe_sung.ttf Couldn't get family name for moe_sung.ttf * Creating fontconfig cache ... dodoc: COPYRIGHT does not exist dodoc: README does not exist dodoc: NEWS does not exist
With that aditional information I would have to guess that the fonts are broken, and that openoffice makes the (probably not broken) assumption that fonts have names.
Could please someone of the fonts-herd comment on this? I would agree with Paul here, looks like this particular font is broken (and therefore causing problems)
Reassigning and changing the title, maybe someone takes notice now ;)
*** Bug 120262 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I had the same problem (sorry I didn't spot this bug before posting my duplicate), but I also found these fonts caused xfontsel to crash. See bug 120262 for details.
Is there anybody out there?
Zzzzzz... ?!
sorry, the font team appears to be me, and i just joined. these fonts are messed up. it looks like they used unicode strings in windows tables like font name, family, copyright, etc. the mac tables look okay. some of the glyphs are out-of-bounds though. they lack kerning info and they don't validate with ftvalid. since cjk doesn't appear to care, i've masked these for removal.
The fonts work fine for me, I never had any problems with them, with any version of OpenOffice, fontconf or whatever.

from what i understand, twmoe/twmoe-sung has been largely replaced by arphic fonts in almost every major distribution, which is why they have been neglected. i would recommend using arphicfonts instead as they're still maintained. removed.
I understand that arphic fonts are generally better and I use them most of the time, however, I'd like to have traditional Chinese fonts officially endorsed by the Ministry of Education of ROC. I don't really get the rationale behind removing the e-build from the portage tree.
