Bug#297743: I am seeing this problem also

[Will Newton <will@misconception.org.uk>]

I believe it started happening when I installed some new Type 1 fonts. I know 
libfreetype6 < 2.1.9 crashes with these fonts installed (the bug is 
FreeType's not the fonts) so it may be related to the version of FreeType in 
OOo.

Let me know if there is any debugging I can do at this end.
