I'm using the german l10n so i'm not sure whether i use the correct terms, so
i'll include the german words as well.

I want to change the settings for a style-template ("Absatzvorlagen") e.g.
Standart, Headline 1, Headline 2 etc so i click on "Change..." ("Ändern"). If i
select another font OpenOffice just crashes without giving a hint. (And the
autosave does not work either in this situation, but thats not the point).

The problem is reproduceable but only for the writer component. Executing the
same steps in the Calc component does not cause any problems.

Here is the backtrace-dump ggdb put out when openoffice crashed:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
