Topic: Writer Converting “example.odt” to “example.pdf” containing Unicode icons and highlighted words The “example.odt” file contains Unicode icons—the kind you can see in the terminal and include in commands managed by “aliases.” The “example.odt” file also contains a few words highlighted in different colors. The PDF contains neither icons nor highlighted text. There are many included fonts, and none of them seem to support these icons. Questions: Is this intentional on the part of the developers? Is this outside the scope of typical Writer usage? Does the use of Unicode terminal-compatible icons conflict with Writer’s internal functionality? Can an add-on or plugin resolve this issue? I’m surprised that a text file supports so many features, yet the LibreOffice suite doesn’t tolerate such a minor deviation from standard usage. Is there a specific way to do this that would give me the result I want: a PDF that contains the icons and the highlighted words? "Don’t waste your time on parasitic leeches."
