Unfortunately, our very limited funds only provide enough funding for one engineer and we must fit all NeoOffice software development, bug fixing, and support tasks into our available time. Because the development and bug fixing tasks use up a significant portion of our available time, we can only answer problems posted by our most generous users.
Viewing our site is free so if you have any problems, a list of suggested steps for finding an answer for a problem as fast as possible is available on the
NeoOffice Support
page.

Hi Patrick,

That is excellent news. I have to fix some Mac OS X 10.7 issues this weekend and once I fix those, I will release my fix in NeoOffice 3.2 Beta Patch 3 sometime next week.

I think that I have fixed the crashing bug and the unexpected font caching
Can you install the following test patch and try enabling and then disabling the duplicate Arial font while you have a NeoOffice document that uses Arial open? Be sure to scroll down a page and then back up to force NeoOffice to render with the latest font list after enabling or disabling a font.
Are both the crashing and "A box" glyph problem fixed for you?:

I can confirm that there is a caching problem. I have been able to reproduce the crash by installing and removing an unrelated font and, so far, the problem appears to be that our code is holding handles to the deleted font.
I suspect that the problem that causes the crashing also causes the Arial problem. I am working on a fix for the crashing bug and as soon as I have a fix (hopefully in the next 24 hours), I will post a test patch for you to try.

In Font Book, via Get Info, fonts have versions.
The one that is disabled by the duplicate resolution is Arial Black v 5.00.1x
The enabled version is Arial Black v 2.35
I found some forum discussions of a problem with Apple's Pages that gave me the hint about duplicate fonts. This discussion said the 2.35 version is Microsoft's; the newer version is Apple's and the newer version has better kerning.
I just swapped them around, so that the new version is enabled and the older version disabled, restarted NeoOffice, and the rendering still works.
Then I re-enabled both fonts. I got the Font Book warning about duplicates, yet when I quit and restarted Neo Office, it still works (no font rendering problem). Something funny with font caching perhaps.
I don't like the font book warning, so I'll keep the new font enabled and the old font disabled, and see what happens.

What is weird is that the Microsoft 2011 Arial font only shows a single generic "A with box" glyph. That glyph looks very, very similar to Apple's "last resort" font. This makes me think the Mac OS X text layout functions cannot handle that new Microsoft font and so NeoOffice is selecting the first font that advertises that it can render the text.
This makes me think that this "font fallback" process is not working in the new text layout code that we put into NeoOffice 3.2 Beta (we replaced Apple's older "ATSUI" functions with their newer "CoreText" functions).
Let me review our new font fallback code and see if I can find any breakage in that code when I add and remove fonts. I will post back later today (California time) with an update.

Font Book showed me I had duplicate fonts after the MS Office installation. I selected all fonts, 'resolved duplicates' and quit Neo Office (it crashed, I copied and attached the log).
That will teach me for installing MS Office
Anyway, restarting NeoOffice after FontBook's duplicate resolution worked fine.

It's Arial Bold which is broken.

Post subject: arial broken after ms office install
I installed MS Office 2011. Then I opened a .odt in NeoOffice 3.2 beta (patch 1).
Arial font is now "broken". see screenshot.
I attach the document as well, which shows the text in Arial Narrow (which looks normal).
I attach a third screen shot, from the real document which I need to print tonight. This is weird because all the fonts in the screen shot are Arial, just with different paragraph formatting. The text that renders correctly is bullet.
Until I installed MS Office, I never saw this problem.
