Description revsamtp 2018-07-21 13:06:53 UTC
Description:
I was working on an important document and thought about installing the Roboto font. SO I went to google fonts and downloaded the Roboto font from https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto.
Version: 6.1.0.1 (x64)
Build ID: 378e26bd4f22a135cef5fa17afd5d4171d8da21a
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: default; 
Locale: en-IN (en_IN); Calc: CL 
Multiple styles or form of the font was installed like Robot italic, roboto bold, roboto regular, etc. I installed all the font simultaneously. When I opened LibreOffice writer, it started turning white and then froze and this process occurred many times. I then closed the application and opened it again. I was able to recover the file but some data was lost. I had not saved the file.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Download a font from google fonts like https://fonts.google.com/download?family=Roboto
2.Open Libreoffice writer.  keep it open
3.Install all teh variants of font simentaneously
4. You might or might not experince this proeblem like I did , but it should be there

Actual Results:
Libre OFfice writer crashed and did not respond

Expected Results:
---------------------------


Reproducible: Didn't try

If it's an important file, backups are useful.
Also, working on a not stable version (6.1 branch is still in RC) may be risky and should be used for tests only.

Any link to a crashreport?

Hello evsamtp@hotmail.com,
Could you please try to follow the link shared by Julien to retrieve a backtrace ?

This was tested on 6.1.0.1; should try again on 6.1.0.3.

It sounds like LO was not responding and you closed it.
Is that correct?
That is different than a complete crash.

I have been testing many font families on LibreOffice lately. And I have been installing the font files for each family all at once by selecting all the font files, right-clicking, and selecting install.
This causes LO to be "Not Responding" for quite awhile.

While it is not responding the screen "goes white" and then it comes back, you think it is back, you click anywhere and it again goes to white and not responding. It cycles through this quite a few times before I actually have back control and a cursor.

I just tested installing the 18 font files from Helvetica Neue Condensed and timed it. It took a little over 3 minutes to regain control.

I installed all the Roboto font files yesterday with a similar time lag.

So I am wondering if you could wait longer and regain control.
Because it sounds like you manually closed the non-responding LO.

There was another user with a different issue with LO on Windows 10,
and their LO took 7 minutes to come back.

I am on Windows 7 x64 using LO 6.1.0.3 x64.
Been testing a lot of font families. and have been doing other things when waiting for LO to come back after installing font families.

I assume LO is rebuilding its font cache and that is a substantial part of the lag. Once it is done I do have immediate access to the new fonts in the fonts list and go back to work creating the samples for all the fonts in that family.

So I would recommend:
 - testing with LO 6.1.0.3
 - waiting longer, it may come back

Latest in 6.1.x line is now 6.1.1. You might also try with a master build: https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/Win-x86_64@42/current/ Master and the upcoming 6.1.2 include some tweaks in Win font handling (maybe unrelated, but you never know).

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have provided further testing information.
