Bug#472826: openoffice.org-writer: Openoffice fails to start up with arphic fonts
Package: openoffice.org-writer
Version: 1:2.3.1-5
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
I start up openoffice.org-writer (or openoffice.org-calc) from the
command line. The splash screen comes up and, after the progress bar
proceeds to about 50% it hangs. Then I edited
/etc/openoffice/sofficerc and disabled the startup log (set Logo=0 in
the sofficerc file)
This time there was no logo but the application immediately quit
(i.e. I type openoffice.org-writer (or calc) and I am returned to the
bash prompt immediately.
An strace shows a segmentation fault after opening an "arphic"
font (output trimmed - full strace output can be provided if needed):

--------------------------
If I remove the arphic directory (or rename it to something else)
the application(s) start up fine.
I don't know if its a defect in the openoffice application or the
font but since a font does not exactly "execute" I've filed this
report against the openoffice.org package.
Thanks.
