After performing the fix that Chris Halls gave me, openoffice starts up fine.
However, I am not able to start up galeon or mozilla. The reason I think that this is worthy of posting to this list is as follows: When I 'strace mozilla', one of the last things that it does positively (as opposed to unlinking a temp file) is to open up an openoffice.org font file. I found this a bit odd, so I did 'strace galeon', and got another segfault, pointing to the same font file. I moved that font file to a backup directory (mv /usr/share/fonts/truetype/openoffice/timmonsr.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/openoffice/backup/ ) and did the two commands again. mozilla errored again, on a different font. Interestingly enough, just running 'galeon', without strace, gave me this error. font /usr/share/fonts/truetype/openoffice/timmonsr.ttf 0 glyphs and the "0 glyphs" message squirts out every time either mozilla or galeon die. After all "0 glyphs" fonts are nuked out of the way, galeon and mozilla both start up and run fine. Also, even though my /usr/share/fonts/truetype/openoffice directory has only these fonts.scale helmetcr.ttf starmath.ttf fonts.dir helmetcb.ttf starbats.ttf files in it (and I didn't update the fonts.scale or the fonts.dir) files at all after moving files around) and my backup directory has ariosob.ttf congab.ttf helmetcbi.ttf timmonsb.ttf ariosor.ttf congar.ttf helmetci.ttf timmonsbi.ttf chevaraor.ttf helmetb.ttf helmeti.ttf timmonsi.ttf chevarar.ttf helmetbi.ttf helmetr.ttf timmonsr.ttf in it, staroffice starts up and works fine. Is this a bug with the ms-ttcorefonts package? rob
