NOT Reproducible with "LibreOffice 3.4.5 RC1  - WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) German UI [Build ID: OOO340m1 (Build:501)]"

We have crash reports concerning crash at particular fonts. Can you please try to find out at what font the crash appears and attach a listing of installed fonts?

I can confirm that this occurs under LO 3.4.5RC2 and 3.5.0Beta2

The font is not included with LibreOffice but it has a Freeware license and can be obtained from several sites.
Comment 4 miguel.bcc 2012-01-07 09:37:23 UTC
Hello,

Thank you for the answer. I have never had this font to LibreOffice!
Perhaps could you tell me how to remove it?
Thank you.
BR.

Open Control Panel, Fonts, scroll down to find Quinquefoliolate, right click on the icon and choose Delete.

This is a Writer bug, therefore adjusted 'Component'.
Comment 7 Roman Eisele 2012-05-08 01:29:10 UTC
I got the Quinquefoliolate font, TTF version, version 1.000 (TrueType version record: "1.0 Sun Mar 02 18:43:12 1997") from http://www.searchfreefonts.com/free/quinquefoliolate.htm.

If I open it with FontLab 5.0.4, FontLab suggests that this font uses the "MS Windows Symbol" encoding. I don't know why exactly, but I suppose that some internal TTF property is set to "Symbol".

Additionally, Apple's FontBook Utility says that "Structure and contents" of the kerning table are suspicious/damaged. Indeed FontLab shows only one single kerning pair (Y+p) for this font; this may be an error (who would, if he/she wants to add just the mostly used kerning pairs, add Y+p only?).

Compare Bug 47553 - "FILEOPEN document with Punjabi Font will CRASH", where I got the same results (font has minor problems).

Therefore, there is a chance that these minor font problems make LibreOffice Crash. Of course, FontLab should not crash, so there is a problem/bug in LibreOffice, too.

I tried to improve the summary a bit, indicating that a specific font is involved.
Comment 8 Roman Eisele 2012-05-08 01:35:33 UTC
I forgot to mention that I can NOT reproduce this bug with LibreOffice 3.5.3.2 on MacOS X 10.6.8, just like bug 47553 (font-specific problem, too, and Windows-only, too). So these two bugs may be related?!
Comment 9 Pedro 2013-06-29 23:13:08 UTC
Selecting font Quinquefoliate doesn't crash LO 3.6.6.2, 4.0.4.2 or 4.1.0.1.
It does crash 3.5.7.2 but hopefully there aren't many users on the 3.5.x branch.
Bug is fixed.
