------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Dec 20 10:59:57 -0800 2006 ------- I'm working with "Herringbone" on this issue. We have downloaded the OOo source and looked over it to get a better understanding of how the system works and how the error could manifest itself. * m_aEmbeddedFonts (from pdfwriter_impl.cxx) has the list of embedded fonts that needs to be rendered into the pdf. If a font is missing from here, then it would not make it into the pdf. However, if a font is missing from m_aEmbeddedFonts then the font dictionary references would probably be sequential, which they are not in the corrupt pdf (although they remain ordered). * PDFWriterImpl::emitFonts() iterates over the list of fonts (m_aEmbeddedFonts) and calls PDFWriterImpl::emitEmbeddedFont on each font. If emitEmbeddedFont fails then the font is not added to aFontIDToObject, which populates the font dictionary. * PDFWriterImpl::emitEmbeddedFont(...) contains a giant if block whose execution depends on the result of PspGraphics::DoGetEmbedFontData (by way of PspGraphics::GetEmbedFontData). DoGetEmbedFontData uses the PrintFontManager, which is a singleton, to get information about the font. If the PrintFontManager fails, the problem would roll all the way back up the stack to PDFWriterImpl::emitFonts(), which would then omit the font from being embedded into the PDF. There are several calls to the PrintFontManager in the DoGetEmbdedFontData. Since once the problem happens in an instance of OpenOffice, once it happens all future requests are corrupt, and is fixed by a restart, it would make sense that a singleton (PrintFontManager in this case) has gotten into a bad state. We'll start taking a closer look at the PrintFontManager, and the other case, which is aEmbeddedFonts is not populated correctly in the first place. Also, this would not explain why we have only been able to reproduce the problem on a Solaris box. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
