------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Jul 8 15:52:47 +0000 2007 ------- This issue was reported before (76578) but closed. The problem seems not to be fixed. Writer still crashes when trying to Insert | special character and to scroll down the table of characters. I tried under Debian (OOo 2.2.1, German) and OpenSuse 10.2, German and with the official packages. I have also seen it happen in Kubuntu 7.04. Writer crashes reliably when i do that: 1. Open a text document 2. Choose: Insert | Special Character (= Einfügen | Sonderzeichen in German) 3. Choose a (Truetype-?) font with a _lot_ of characters (as Times New Roman, Arial or FreeSans from the debian-package ttf-freefont) 4. Scroll down the table with the characters 5. Writer crashes, usually before I get down to the last characters of the font The problem is not limited to the msttcorefonts. The solution suggested in issue 76578 would be, to set the locales to en_US. But that's not a sensible solution for everybody and it didn't work for me anyway. And even if there was a problem with the locales, OOo shouldn't just crash silently. The problem seems to be limited to the linux version 2.2.0 and up. OOo 2.1 on linux works just fine. On Windows there is no problem at all. When I start OOo from the command line it get the following messages several times before I start the actions described above: (process:5798): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: /tmp/buildd/glib2.0-2.12.12/gobject/gtype.c:2242: initialization assertion failed, use IA__g_type_init() prior to this function (process:5798): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_screen_get_font_options: assertion `GDK_IS_SCREEN (screen)' failed There is no message at all when OOo is crashing or immediately before.
