The root cause of the problem is that the font "TheMixExtraBold" doesn't contain
these umlauts. This is rather unfortunate considering that the font seems to be
designed in Germany.
The best workaround for problems with fonts not supporting characters you want
to use is to select another font instead which supports the text. Though OOo
contains rescue mechanisms for situations like this the chances that the missing
character is replaced by a by using the corresponding character from another
font which matches the style of the selected font 100% are pretty dim.
Especially when the style of the selected font is rather unique.
OOo's heuristic to deal with situations with fonts not supporting some
characters usually works quite well for truetype or opentype fonts. Also for
Type1 fonts on unix platforms. OOo currently cannot detect whether a character
is supported in a Type1 font on windows platforms, so this is the worst case
situation for OOo. Maybe we can improve the heuristic for Type1 fonts on
windows.
