While editing any document in swriter I can consistently frezze the application by just scrolling down the list of available fonts in the tools bar font window, the one right beside the paragraph style window. I typically get up to the following list of fonts when the freeze occurs: Times Times New Roman Trebuchet MS Verdana I might be that I don't have some of the (about to be listed) fonts in my machine but a freeze due to this should never occur. -- Pedro
Joost: usually an X application always crashes if it gets in contact with broken fonts...just as a hint... Maybe you're working with a Linux distro using one of these XFree 4.1.0 with buggy libxrender (I would update this one)
SDuVal 3/6/02: Problem appeared for me after installing TrueType fonts (symlinks to usr/share/fonts/ttf) in the openoffice/share/fonts/truetype dir. The anti-aliasing looks GREAT. Unfortunately, the bug freezes the entire KDE desktop and requires hard boot. Why doesn't the writer use the system shared fonts?
Reassigned to Ulf.
