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

 

Hi again :  I completed all the steps in order you gave them.  The crash
file of 40.1MB was generated.

Filing the crash report  ubuntu-bug didn't give any visual indication of
success but no error indication either.

On the other hand, after editing the  /etc/apport/crashdb.conf file per
your instructions and repeating the filing of the crash report, there
was a lengthy visual display of a progress bar which seemed to me in
line with the time I would expect to upload a 40.1MB file.  This was
followed by a new tab opening in Firefox with a display from Ubuntu
launchpad indicating that the bug data was being processed.

So it looks like the repeat crash report to Launchpad has probably
succeeded but I don't know whether the report to Ubuntu Error tracker
was ok or not.

Title:
  writer crashes when exporting  xhtml with embedded fonts

Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  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
