I am working on a Linux machine and entered the "doc" command in the Command Window.
I received the following error in MATLAB:
Exception in thread "XPCOMMessageLoop" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /usr/local/matlab/r2017b/sys/jxbrowser/glnxa64/xulrunner/xulrunner-linux-64/libxul.so: /usr/lib/libharfbuzz.so.0: undefined symbol: FT_Get_Var_Blend_Coordinates

Is there a way to diagnose this and get the Documentation to work?

This is one example of a library incompatibility between the MATLAB application and libraries that could be a part of your operating system. This can often be resolved by setting aside MATLAB's version of the library.
Based on the error, the symbol "FT_Get_Var_Blend_Coordinates" is undefined. Please reference the answer of the following MATLAB Answers post for information regarding which library to change for this symbol.
For the above post, the symbol and library causing this issue were exposed using the "MATLABWindow" command. The steps to resolve the issue are the same.
