Comment 1 Jean-Paul Maley 2012-12-14 14:57:23 UTC 
when replacing the bugged font in options-fonts you can eliminate the bug
Comment 2 Jean-Paul Maley 2012-12-14 14:58:57 UTC 
also in 3.6.4.3
Comment 3 Julien Nabet 2012-12-15 00:07:13 UTC 
Jean-Paul: could you tell where SEGDT.TTF could be retrieved for testing?
Comment 4 Jean-Paul Maley 2012-12-15 10:19:53 UTC 
It is a font from Siemens: Solid Edge. Its propriety CAD software so i don't know if i can provide it. I'll ask my software provider.

Jean-Paul:
2 possibilities too:
1) Get a backtrace from Windows (see http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport#How_to_get_a_backtrace_.28on_Windows.29)
2) If you have Linux on a workstation, you can install your font in it (just for the test) and retrieve more easily a backtrace (see http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport#How_to_get_a_backtrace_.28on_Linux.29)
Comment 6 retired 2013-03-22 09:47:39 UTC 
No feedback from bug reporter for a very long time.

@Jean-Paul: Could you please test if this issue is still valid when using LO 4? If that is the case, please re-open the bug. It would be great if you could also provide the requested backtrace so this problem can be dealt with.
