Not really. Just 1025 ttf files copied over from my old Windows font folder. I made sure to just copy the ttf files over, so there wouldn't be a problem with fon files. And yes, it does seem as if it's crashing on building the font list, since it never even gets to the point of displaying the list before it crashes. Funny thing is, OO is the only program that doesn't have access to the fonts. Every other program on my system, from Nautilus to Scribus, can access the fonts, no problem. -- "There's a difference between getting money for what you do and doing it for money.
