------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-06 04:03 ------- thanks for that, running soffice.bin through gdb and trying to access fonts locks up X hard (had to ssh into the computer to kill it) gdb says this: program recieved signal SIGSEGV, segmentation fault [Switching to thread 16384 (LWP 1948)] 0x40c0941e in mallopt () from lib /lib/i686/libc.so.6 The new library does not help. The only fonts I have added are some TT fonts (using control center "add fonts" not "get windows fonts"): arial, dauphin, sheffield, times new roman, courier, verdana, comic sans, symbol. I have no trouble with these on other computers (mdk 9) and, as I say, if I replace libfreetype.so.6.3.2 with another version openoffice works fine on this computer. In fact if I do export LD_PRELOAD=/home/wes/tmp/ft-slight/libfreetype.so.6.3.2 oowriter and then start oowriter everything is fine (that new libfreetype.so.6.3.2 is from David Chester's webpage). ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: New install of 9.1 rc2. Openoffice starts and functions, but if you try to access fonts (for example, by using the drop down font list on the toolbar) the program crashes (just disappears). If started in a konsole, oowriter just give a "segmentation fault" error message ... This is probably related to bug 1492 but does not seem quite the same. NOTE: this goes away if the libfreetype.so.6.3.2 that ships with rc2 is replaced with David Chester's custom libfreetype (http://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~dchest/xfthack/). It looks like there might be a conflict between mandrake's current freetype and openoffice!
