Priority: medium
Bug ID: 58324
Keywords: regression
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Summary: VIEWING: In Libreoffice 4.0 Beta1, Writer fail to find
other fonts for displaying unicode characters.
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: minhsien0...@gmail.com
Hardware: Other
Whiteboard: BSA
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.0.0.0.beta1
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
Created attachment 71535
--> https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=71535&action=edit
The ODT file to show this problem.
Problem description:
I upload a mi4.odt to show this problem.
In version 3.5.4, the chinese character 𥅽 can be shown correctly even though
the current font did not contain this unicode character (see attachment
lo-3.5.4.png).
But in version 4.0 beta, Writer would not show any character (see
lo-4.0-beta1.png ), unless I manually selected a font that contains the unicode
chinese character𥅽.
In shorts, Libreoffice 4.0 do not find other fonts to display unicode chinese
characters while this characters not found in current font, but Libreoffice
3.5.4 can do it automatically.
Is it a problem of PANGO ?
Note:
If you were using Debian, you will need to install fonts-arphic-uming or
fonts-arphic-ukai to show this unicode chinese character.
You can download and extract them from the deb file if you were not Debian
user:
http://packages.debian.org/sid/fonts-arphic-uming
http://packages.debian.org/zh-tw/sid/fonts-arphic-ukai
Steps to reproduce:
1. Install fonts-arphic-uming or fonts-arphic-ukai (Debian or Ubuntu), but do
not set these 2 fonts as default font in Writer.
2. Open mi4.odt with Libreoffice 4.0 beta1 or 3.5.4
3. You will see nothing there if you open it with Libreoffice 4.0 beta1, but
you will see a chinese word if you open it with Libreoffice 3.5.4.
Current behavior:
Libreoffice 4.0 do not find other fonts to display unicode chinese characters
while this characters not found in current font.
Expected behavior:
If the unicode character not found in the current font, Libreoffice 4.0 beta
should try to search other fonts that contains this unicode character and to
display it.
Operating System: Debian
Last worked in: 3.5.4 release
