Description wine 2002-06-16 13:04:17 UTC 
L.S.,

If users don't have read-permission to fonts in the OpenOffice font directory,
OpenOffice crashes, hangs or has serious interface quircks.

Spadmin currenty doesn't (fully?) check font permissions and ownerships (issue
5883), but manually added fonts may have the same inconsistencies, so perhaps
OpenOffice should check on startup and ignore fonts with bad perms/owns while
alerting the user of this event.

Best Regards,

Maarten Wijnen

TM->US: Don`t really know if this is your turn to have a look at. But
due to the fact that 5883 is a very common problem and that issue is
owned by sba, please have a look, thanks !
Comment 2 ulf.stroehler 2002-11-29 11:50:02 UTC 
us: when the UI font has permissions 000, OOo starts without UI font.
Perhaps not the ideal behaviour.

I won't built in a read check for every font on startup; that would
slow down office startup several seconds (depending on how many fonts
are on the system) and the startup is slow enough as it is. I will
build into spadmin a check of the fonts inside OOo.
