--- Comment #7 from Roman Eisele <[email protected]> 2012-05-08 01:29:10 PDT ---
I got the Quinquefoliolate font, TTF version, version 1.000 (TrueType version
record: "1.0 Sun Mar 02 18:43:12 1997") from
http://www.searchfreefonts.com/free/quinquefoliolate.htm.

If I open it with FontLab 5.0.4, FontLab suggests that this font uses the "MS
Windows Symbol" encoding. I don't know why exactly, but I suppose that some
internal TTF property is set to "Symbol".

Additionally, Apple's FontBook Utility says that "Structure and contents" of
the kerning table are suspicious/damaged. Indeed FontLab shows only one single
kerning pair (Y+p) for this font; this may be an error (who would, if he/she
wants to add just the mostly used kerning pairs, add Y+p only?).

Compare Bug 47553 - "FILEOPEN document with Punjabi Font will CRASH", where I
got the same results (font has minor problems).

Therefore, there is a chance that these minor font problems make LibreOffice
Crash. Of course, FontLab should not crash, so there is a problem/bug in
LibreOffice, too.

I tried to improve the summary a bit, indicating that a specific font is
involved.
