Hi.

Yesterday this bug hit me severely.
You open an old document, urgently need to print and edit it and these glyph 
replacements appear!
It took me 2 hours to find the bug on the web, since it is already fixed for 
several distributions, except hardy/hardy-updates/hardy-security...

If there is any way to still get this into hardy ?
If 2.4.2 doesn't get into hardy-updates, one could also fix it for current 
2.4.1.
Debian did it, ifdef' ing out the triggering code-patch, crosslinking:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=481518
and the changelog shows the bugfix for the corresponding upstream-bugtrack:
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/o/openoffice.org/openoffice.org_2.4.1+dfsg-1+lenny3/changelog#versionversion1:2.4.1-17

I add the corresponding patch that debian uses in 
ooo-build/patches/src680

The bug is severe for the ones that hit it.
And I also believe that hardy (still LTS) should be fixed, since there is no 
way to around this bug staying within hardy.

Regards, Tobias.
