------- Additional comments from avben...@openoffice.org Tue Sep 22 20:49:09 +0000 2009 ------- Could this be ONLY related to documents created on old versions of Microsoft Office/Windows? References that seem likely to cause problems: ## The range of characters between U+F020 and U+F0FF in the Private Use Area of Unicode is mapped to symbol fonts in Richedit 4.1 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/897872 Richedit 4.1 maps the range of characters between U+F020 and U+F0FF in the PUA to symbol fonts. Therefore, when you map any character in this range, Richedit 4.1 shows the symbol character instead of the end-user-defined character (EUDC). APPLIES TO: Microsoft Platform Software Development Kit-January 2000 Edition ## Handling of PUA Characters in Microsoft Software http://scripts.sil.org/cms/SCRIPTs/page.php?site%5Fid=nrsi&item%5Fid=PUACharsInMSSotware Excerpt: One of the mysteries of text formatted with symbol fonts (at least, in certain Microsoft applications) is that characters appear to be encoded in terms of 8-bit code points even if a document is otherwise encoded in Unicode. When U+F021 was inserted into WordPad from the clipboard, not only did WordPad (more precisely, the Rich Edit control) apply the Wingdings font, it seems that it also changed the code point to 0x21. When the character was reformatted to a non-symbol font, this became U+0021. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
