As the original bug filer, I cannot confirm that the fonts problem is causing my original bug:

If I move ~/.fonts out of the way:

    $ mv ~/.fonts ~/Desktop
    $ oowriter

    ** (soffice:31662): WARNING **: unable to get gail version number

    [followed by same crash symptoms as always]

The last ttf file mentioned in my strace is Inconsolata, installed as the Ubuntu package ttf-inconsolata:

4447 access("/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-inconsolata/Inconsolata.otf", R_OK) = 0
4447 open("/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-inconsolata/Inconsolata.otf", O_RDONLY) = 28
...

Removing and purging ttf-inconsolata does NOT solve my crash and in any case there is no segmentation fault as in Albrecht's strace.

Should the crashes due to files in ~/.fonts therefore be tracked in a different bug at least until we're sure that my bug is the same?
