[Bug 1258368] Re: libreoffice: long time delay for properties window when set UI language to zh_CN
This is caused by the droid fallback fonts. It seems that the chars
covered by droid fallback fonts are not complete, so libreoffice is
busy substituting thus caused the delay.
See my comments in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70857.
Callgrind debug info in the bug report.

Title:
libreoffice: long time delay for properties window when set UI
language to zh_CN
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
When zh_CN (Simplified Chinese) language is enabled for LibreOffice
UI, the property windows will freeze and take much long time (more
than 10 seconds) to show up.
This happens in my two home laptops and one office computer, all of
which have Ubuntu 13.10 installed. It was the same when I was using
Ubuntu 13.04.
This issue has been tested by someone else in an official LibreOffice
QQ Qun in many other linux distributions and found no problems, so
this is a Ubuntu specific bug, not a libreoffice bug.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Install LibreOffice with zh_CN lang pack ( no matter whether you install the LibreOffice offical builds, or by apt-get from ubuntu repo);
2. Start LibreOffice Calc to create a new spreadsheet. Make sure the UI language is Simplified Chinese. (If not, change the UI language in LibreOffice options menu);
3. In any cell, right click -> "单元格属性" (Format Cells).
Current behaviour:
The "format cells" window takes more than 10 seconds to show up.
(Actually, it's the same for other formatting properties window, i.e. chars, page, paragraphs, etc.)
Set LibreOffice UI language to English will solve the problem.
Expect behaviour:
The "format cells" window should show up instantly within 2 senconds, as it is for English UI.
System Info:
Ubuntu 13.10 x86. (Same for 13.04, as well as x86-64). Maybe OK before ubuntu 12.04.
Same issue no matter the system locale is zh_ch or en_US.

I filed a bug in LibreOffice bug tracker earlier, but then found this is not their bug.
