I've exported the LModern Type1 font from the Ubuntu "lmodern" package to the TrueType format (with instructions from http://www.vromans.org/johan/OOo/oofonts03.html).
When using this TTF export, the "ê" character is correctly exported to PDF and printed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/928707 Title: [Upstream] LibreOffice printing and PDF exports mishandle some accentuated characters with lmodern fonts Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Invalid Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: 1) lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 11.10 Release: 11.10 2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer libreoffice-writer: Installed: 1:3.4.4-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 1:3.4.4-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 1:3.4.4-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-updates/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:3.4.3-3ubuntu2 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main i386 Packages apt-cache policy lmodern lmodern: Installed: 2.004.1-3 Candidate: 2.004.1-3 Version table: *** 2.004.1-3 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status apt-cache policy evince evince: Installed: 3.2.1-0ubuntu2.2 Candidate: 3.2.1-0ubuntu2.2 Version table: *** 3.2.1-0ubuntu2.2 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-updates/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3.2.0-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main i386 Packages apt-cache policy acroread acroread: Installed: 9.4.7-1oneiric1 Candidate: 9.4.7-1oneiric1 Version table: *** 9.4.7-1oneiric1 0 500 http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/partner i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3) What is expected to happen in LibreOffice Writer via the Terminal: cd ~/Desktop && wget -c https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/928707/+attachment/2729211/+files /ubuntu-bug-928707.odt -O example.odt && lowriter -nologo example.odt export to PDF, open in Adobe Reader or Evince and it looks as it does in Writer. 4) What happens instead is the PDF looks mis-exported as per attached screenshot: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/928707/+attachment/2723326/+files/lmodern.png Reproducible in: lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu precise (development branch) Release: 12.04 apt-cache policy lmodern lmodern: Installed: 2.004.1-3.1ubuntu1 Candidate: 2.004.1-3.1ubuntu1 Version table: *** 2.004.1-3.1ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer libreoffice-writer: Installed: 1:3.5.0~beta2-2ubuntu4 Candidate: 1:3.5.0~beta2-2ubuntu4 Version table: *** 1:3.5.0~beta2-2ubuntu4 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status apt-cache policy evince evince: Installed: 3.3.5-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 3.3.5-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 3.3.5-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status --- ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu4 Architecture: i386 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Release i386 (20111012) Package: lmodern 2.004.1-3 PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-15.26-generic 3.0.13 Tags: oneiric Uname: Linux 3.0.0-15-generic i686 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm admin cdrom dialout lpadmin plugdev sambashare vboxusers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/df-libreoffice/+bug/928707/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
