I'm having the same issue I think. I upgraded to RH 9 from RH 8. I couldn't even launch mozilla after the upgrade to RH 9, until I started removing all fonts that have been added to my system over the years, trying to leave only the default fonts installed by RH 9. I had a lot of different font directories, which I am cleaning up. After doing that, I was able to launch mozilla, but I am still unable to even launch OO. I have removed my .openoffice directory, and I get the same error you reference above when starting OO. After installing the glibc update for RH9, things seem much better. I continue to have the same problems after updating glibc I really think this is font related. I "cleaned up" all the fonts on my system, by seeing which ones were installed from RPM's, and which ones were not. I spent some time going through all the different directories where fonts were installed, and did a rpm -qf `ls` in each directory. If the directory was not from an RPM, I deleted or moved it somewhere else. Then I reran fc-cache and OO started working again, but not until I did all the up2date packages. It really made a difference for me after the glibc update. I couldn't even run xmms before the glibc update. My system had been upgraded from previous redhat releases, and this was the first upgrade that was rough. Was your system upgraded or a 'fresh' install? In my case it's a fresh install. Ouch. I figured maybe you were in the same boat as me, with an upgrade. Anything on usenet about this? I'm having the same problem on a fresh install. Useing the laptop/home desktop install off of the dvd. I face same problem when I add new TTF fonts. It happen after I install using openoffice setup printer dialog box. After I run oowriter and click to choose font, oowriter crash. This also happen if I install into one of TTF directory listed using chkfontpath. This problem didn't happen on RH8.0. I don't know the problem from openoffice or XFS. Thought it might be xfs. I downloaded the latest openoffice.org (1.0.3.1) and installed it. Installed the TTF fonts and it functions fully. Please try current OOo 1.1.0, and reopen if problem still occurs |
