--- Comment #24 from JohnHardy <johnhardy at johnhardyco.com> ---
I just re-installed the font "Helvetica Narrow S Regular.ttf", then reopened LO
and scrolled through the drop-down font list. It crashed. I then deleted the
font, reopened LO and it is working fine. So I have an easily repeatable test.

Note that the file name (quoted above) has spaces in it, if that makes a
difference. So I renamed it by removing the spaces so it became
"HelveticaNarrowSRegular.ttf". It still crashed LO.

Reinstalling the file "unicode.helvetin.ttf" caused two icons to appear again
in the folder for Helvetica fonts. Again, Chinese characters on the front of
those icons, as well as on the front of the Helvetica folder. After deleting
one of the fonts, both font icons went away and the 3 characters on the
Helvetica folder reverted to English. That font came from a folder on my hard
drive that I named "LibFreeFonts", another folder with the same font in it was
named "MyFontFree".

I still get italics when using the two "narrow" versions of Helvetica that are
still available, so I will need to delete them and find narrow versions that
work correctly and don't cause a crash.

I separately attached the font file that crashes LO ("Helvetica Narrow S
Regular.ttf"). If anyone wants the "unicode.helvetin.ttf" file, let me know.
Thank you.
