I have been having trouble running openoffice-devel for awhile now and finally decided to examine what was causing it to crash with a SIGABRT (below). After a long search for similar issues in OpenOffice, FontConfig and FreeBSD plus some code examination, it turns out that a specific font from the x11-fonts/google-fonts is the trigger: AmstelvarAlpha-VF.ttf. Just moving that font outside of /usr/local/share/fonts is enough to prevent the crash. I am not sure if this is FreeBSD-only. $ lldb /usr/local/openoffice-4.2.1589199787/openoffice4/program/soffice.bin (lldb) target create "/usr/local/openoffice-4.2.1589199787/openoffice4/program/soffice.bin" Current executable set to '/usr/local/openoffice-4.2.1589199787/openoffice4/program/soffice.bin' (x86_64).

^Triage: Request feedback from x11-fonts/google-fonts maintainer If the google-fonts dependency is enabled by default, please change Severity to "Affects many people". If it is otherwise conditional, not by default, or depends on another variable/conditional, set to 'Affects Some People'
The abort is happening in libfontconfig, cc: desktop@FreeBSD.org
The only explicitly listed font dependencies listed are: x11-fonts/crosextrafonts-caladea-ttf ttf:x11-fonts/crosextrafonts-carlito-ttf x11-fonts/croscorefonts-fonts-ttf fonts brought in by dependencies are: x11-fonts/dejavu x11-fonts/xorg-fonts-truetype x11-fonts/font-bh-ttf x11-fonts/font-misc-meltho x11-fonts/font-misc-ethiopic
I confirm that x11-fonts/google-fonts is not installed by default. After the update to google-fonts-0.0.0.20200729, the list of fonts from the package that crashes OpenOffice has expanded to the following: AmstelvarAlpha-VF.ttf Fraunces-Italic[SOFT,WONK,opsz,wght].ttf Fraunces[SOFT,WONK,opsz,wght].ttf Literata-Italic[opsz,wght].ttf Literata[opsz,wght].ttf Newsreader-Italic[opsz,wght].ttf Newsreader[opsz,wght].ttf
