Fonts directory long listing

I think I have found the root cause for the fonts problems reported earlier. I
just installed LO 6.0.3.2 per DEB package as I usually do. After the
installation, I typically run libreoffice as root in order to install
extensions for all users. As root I also checked for the existence of the fonts
issue and was surprised not to find any fonts problems. So, I checked as a
normal user afterwards and was disappointed to find the fonts problem still
exists.

However, the different behavior of LO6 run as root and as normal user caused me
to check the permissions in the directory
/opt/libreoffice6.0/share/fonts/truetype. The results are listed in the new
attachment.

Long story short, unfortunately many permissions are incorrectly set. E.g.

-rw-r----- 1 root root  455164 Mar 29 23:16 NotoSans-Bold.ttf

It is no surprise that an ordinary user encounters problems with the new Noto
fonts, when an ordinary user does not have read access for these fonts.

After I had corrected all fonts permissions manually to become 644, the font in
the file open dialog is now correctly displayed.

Please have the permissions of all fonts files (and the entire DEB packages)
checked and corrected for future releases.

Thanks
Tom
