Bug#302160: Reason for crash solved



Hello,

I finally found the reason for the mysterious crash: it resulted from a
corrupted afm-file in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/. So the bug
actually should read something like:

"OpenOffice.Org crashes when it tries to read a non-ascii character in
an afm file." Of course, there shouldn't ever be any non-ascii
characters in afm files, but other programs may have bugs in them,
too...

A suggested solution: instead of crashing, ignore the font, perhaps with
a notice, that the font OpenOffice.org was trying to read is corrupted.
