[Bug 1496142] [NEW] writer crashes when exporting xhtml with embedded fonts

 

Public bug reported:

Using LibreOffice Writer (Trusty Updates 4.2.8.2 in UbuntuStudio LTS
1404)

lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
Release:	14.04

apt-cache policy libreoffice
libreoffice:
  Installed: 1:4.2.8-0ubuntu2
  Candidate: 1:4.2.8-0ubuntu2

WM_CLASS(STRING) = "libreoffice", "libreoffice-writer"

When attempting to export a book written with LO to xhtml in order to
prepare an eBook version and having selected "embed fonts in the
document",  LO crashes and shuts down.

I need to embed the fonts used. The main font is Liberation Serif but I
have also "Opus Chords Sans" which is a specialised font for music and
used in the text for the correct display of musical flat and sharp
signs.

I tried installing a more specialised extension from the LibreOffice
website, writer2xhtml filters v1.4, which has a special filter for
exporting to ePUB format as well as various other xhtml filters. They
all work fine as long as I do not check the embedded fonts tickbox. As
soon as I select to embed the fonts, LO crashes. But at least with this
new extension I get an error log generated in the current directory.

The error log seems to implicate the libmergedlo.so file :

# Problematic frame:
# C [libmergedlo.so+0x26f6369] XMLFontAutoStylePool::embedFontFile(rtl::OUString const&)+0xf9

Full error file attached :  hs_err_pid5079.log
