1. Open LibreOffice Draw
2. Browse to google fonts and download a font
3. Open the font file in Windows Font Viewer and use the 'install' option

Actual Results:
LibreOffice Draw hanged

Could you please try the same in newer LiberOffice version like 25.8.4?
Comment 2 Mike 2026-01-10 23:01:56 UTC 
I've uninstalled and reinstalled with V 25.8.4:

Version: 25.8.4.2 (X86_64)
Build ID: 290daaa01b999472f0c7a3890eb6a550fd74c6df
CPU threads: 16; OS: Windows 11 X86_64 (build 26200); UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: en-GB (en_GB); UI: en-GB
Calc: threaded

When I attempted to replicate by:

- Opening Draw
- Starting to creating a document (including adding text)
- downloading and install a font from Google Fonts (via system dialogue)

This time instead of crashing completely, the app hung for a few moments (I got a 'not responding' message) and started working again.

(Installed font appeared in fonts list after closing and re-opening app - which I'm unbothered by)
