Works for me. Tested with LOdev 3.6 (2012-05-10) version 3.6.0alpha0+ (Build ID: 9980e69) from Win-x86@6-fast under Windows Vista 64.

Any idea how to narrow down the cause on my system? It happens consistently and no matter how I install the application.

Works for me (on WinXP 32b) w/ LibO-Dev_3.6.0alpha0

Sorry, should be:
You might reset your LibreOffice user profile.

Works for me with LOdev version 3.6.0alpha0+ (Build ID: e3bc45b; dated 2012-05-13) on MacOS X 10.6.8 German UI.

But I had the same problem some weeks ago on MacOS X, if I remember correctly with the Master build dated 2012-04-14. Using a newer Master build, 2012-04-20, the problem went away again. I could never figure out what caused these crashes (deleting the LibreOffice user profile did NOT help!); they seem to come and to go. Maybe using just a newer Master build helps you, too?

Roman Eisele, my problem is almost identical to what you described (though yours happened on a MacOS X). deleting the user profile did not help, nor did any other measure I took to have a clean/fresh install.

I agree, but I'm sorry that this does not help you much: for me, the problem just went away again with another Master build ...

A crash like this on MacOSX is related to the installation of some version of Free Sans and appears to crash in MacOSXs own font code, This one though is on windows, so quite probably different. Nevertheless any fonts installed that didn't come pre-installed by Windows itself ?

Dear Caolán McNamara, thank you for your insights into the possible problem. I am going to check out my system to see what other fonts I have installed on it. Though, I can tell you that I am very careful with installing fonts on my system and I don't do it unless I's absolutely necessary (I regularly check my font folder and uninstall any font that is not installed by myself).

As for a free Serif font, I can tell you, off the top of my head, that I have Fontin installed (you can see it here: http://www.exljbris.com/fontin.html ). I don't recall having any other free Serif font on my system that did not already come with the OS. Nevertheless, I am going to check it out and will report back to you soon.

Again, thank you for following up with this issue.

My mistake! Fontin is a free, san serif, not a serif. I'll see what Serif fonts I have and will get back to you (I actually have a few Serif fonts installed by myself).

Regards.

Here is the list of the installed fonts on my computer:

By the way, I reinstalled my Windows 7, and installed this version of LibO:

http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/Win-x86@6-fast/master/2012-05-25_07.27.31/

And it still crashed exactly the same as before.

fwiw, when I said "free serif" I meant http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_UCS_Outline_Fonts a font literally named "Free Serif". Clearly if it happens after a fresh install of OS, its hardly likely to be that after all.

There are some Microsoft Office fonts listed there. So, just in case, I installed those fonts as well on my windows instance, but (it was a long shot anyway) it persists in working fine for me without any crash. So I got nothing to make a stab at a guess for as to why it persists in working fine for me with the English UI.

Is this still an issue in the latest 3.6 master?

I don't know, even if it is still an issue. I have no way to test the same issue since I changed my OS from Win 7 to Win 8.
