One aditional question? Did you install the fonts in openoffice? And are you using openoffice-bin or openoffice? You might also want to report this to openoffice.org Removing fonts@, it's nearly the same list. Any of the very few individual members who want to be on this bug and aren't on the xfree alias, please CC yourselves. I'm using openoffice-bin. I wasn't aware that there were any additional fonts available to install - is this a separate ebuild? OO.o are certainly aware that OpenOffice can be a touch finicky regarding fonts but I'm not sure if the problem in this case is down to X, xfs or OO.o. However, I'll do all I can to help track it down. You can use the oopadmin program (preferably as root, that will make it global) to announce fonts to openoffice. With XFS this might be needed for printing or fontworks as openoffice might not be able to retrieve the font files (xfs does not provide the full files) while it needs them to be able to do all kinds of magic (like embedding the font files in your print output/pdf files or doing magic like fontwork does. This of course is no excuse for openoffice crashing (so please file a bug upstream) but it might be the cause and the workaround As no one seems to be able to reproduce that bug I think we should close it. Objections? As I've asked some months ago, closing |
