Description Unknown 2003-07-21 23:27:50 UTC 
I added my truetype fonts to OOo via spadmin. Several fonts cause a crash of OOo. 
One of the fonts that cause trouble is a Tahoma ttf I copied from Windows. Open Office 
Components start, the main application frame is shown, then an alert dialog with a 
button but no visible text appears. After clicking the (probably ok) button, the 
application closes. Removing the critical fonts solves the problem. The Problem is 
always reproducable on my machine. 
 
I filed this bug with qa since it affects no single OOo part. If that was wrong, I 
apologize, please move it to the appropriate location if possible.  
 
Thanks, 
 
Richard

moving to component gsl

Which fonts besides tahoma show the problem ?
Comment 3 Unknown 2003-08-18 12:24:28 UTC 
I'm not sure. I have a bunch of fonts and tahoma was the first that I could 
identify. Is there any way to start Openoffice with extensive debugging 
output that I could use to track down the fonts? Otherwise I'd have to 
manually check all my fonts (which I will then do).
Comment 4 philipp.lohmann 2003-08-18 13:00:24 UTC 
There are not debug outputs to activate; but it might be that the
problem is fixed with OOo RC3.
Comment 5 hdu@apache.org 2003-08-18 13:09:01 UTC 
Which OOo version exactly? Which distribution? What is the 
version of /usr/lib/libfreetype? What is the md5sum of your 
tahoma.ttf?
Comment 6 Unknown 2003-08-20 13:54:56 UTC 
FYI: 
 
Distribution: Gentoo 1.4 
Freetype: 2.1.4 
 
I just installed OOo 1.1RC3 German and the problem is gone.
Comment 7 philipp.lohmann 2003-08-20 14:56:36 UTC 
In that case I'll close the issue.
