I had the same symptoms on Jaunty/PowerPC after I installed the
"Mac4Lin" package. The relevant statements in strace are apparently
[pid 8713] access("/home/albrecht/.fonts/Aquabase-spanish-support.ttf", R_OK)
= 0
[pid 8713] open("/home/albrecht/.fonts/Aquabase-spanish-support.ttf",
O_RDONLY) = 27
[pid 8713] fstat64(27, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=174420, ...}) = 0
[pid 8713] mmap(NULL, 174420, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, 27, 0) = 0x49b28000
[pid 8713] close(27) = 0
[pid 8713] --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
[pid 8713] exit_group(78) = ?
After re-naming the ~/.fonts folder, soffice comes up again. I then re-
named the folder back to .fonts, removed the file Aquabase-spanish-
support.ttf, and soffice still works. Looks like a bug in the font
engine.
Hope this helps, Albrecht.
