  | |  | OpenOffice.org 1.02 font menu preview | OpenOffice.org 1.02 font menu preview 2003-04-21 - By Cliff Kent
Back System: RH9 w/ errata; a fairly complete desktop, workstation, gnome, and kde install.
OpenOffice seemed fine until I installed some basic MS TrueType fonts in ~/.fonts -- following the release notes. Gedit and Kwrite use these fonts ok. So I used OpenOffice.org printer setup to add these fonts to OpenOffice. That seemed smooth too.
But, in OpenOffice, when I drop the font menu either: 1. OpenOffice disappears or 2. CPU use goes to 100% and it 's hard to recover
As a workaround I have turned off "Preview In Font Lists " in Tools - > Options... - > etc. Now it seems to be working, but I have not worked it hard yet.
This all worked in RH 8.0 and OpenOffice.org 1.0.1. It 's the same ~/.fonts directory copied over the LAN and chown to the right user and group. I can 't think what I 've missed.
This is the first sign of trouble in over a week with a fresh install.
TIA,
Cliff Kent
