Now, as I review my (11:23 AM 07-04-2008) note at http://bugzilla.neooffice.org/bug.php?op=show&bugid=3144 I wonder whether there was truly corruption, or whether there was simply some _discrepancy_ between a) fonts _actually cached on disk_ and b) applications' notions of what _might_ or_should_ be available from such caches -- bear in mind that a few days prior to the crashing behaviours, I had used Apple Font Book to weed supposedly duplicate fonts. (If my thoughts/expressions here are becoming fuzzy, sorry -- I'm not a developer!) Now, re-focusing on OOo: 1. does OOo keep its own cache of fonts? If so, then: 2. upon which sources are the OOo cache based? 3. is there maybe some discrepancy between what OOo _expects_ to find in cache(s), and what's _actually_ cached? In my experience, issues relating to fonts can manifest themselves in very unexpected ways...
