Issue 5883

L.S.,

* Short Description: 
Spadmin should perform a "chown root:root" and "chmod 0644" on all newly added
fonts to ensure font access for all users. If users don't have read-permission
to fonts in the OpenOffice font directory, OpenOffice crashes, hangs or has
serious interface quircks (filed as a separate issue).

* Long Description:
1) I used WS_FTP to upload fonts from my Microsoft Windows computer to my Linux
computer. The fonts had the following permissions and ownership:

-rw-r-----    1 wine     wine        81000 Jun  1 14:58 WINGDING.TTF

2) I used spadmin as root to add the fonts to the
OpenOffice.org1.0/share/fonts/truetype directory

3) When openoffice refused to work properly (crashes, hanging etc.) for other
users then wine, I inspected the fonts-directory, and found the following:

-rw-r-----    1 root     wine        81000 Jun  1 15:00 WINGDING.TTF

4) I changed the ownership (chown root:root *.ttf *.TTF) and permissions (chmod
o+r *.ttf *.TTF) in accordance with the permissions and ownerships of default
OpenOffice fonts, and all worked fine again:

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        81000 Jun  1 15:00 WINGDING.TTF
