Bug#481518: openoffice.org-writer: Some fonts display accented chars wrongly
Package: openoffice.org-writer
Version: 1:2.4.0-6
Severity: important
NOTE: this message is UTF-8 encoded
To reproduce this bug:
1) create a UTF-8 encoded text file containing some accented Latin characters,
like ø, ö, é, è.
2) start oo-writer, choose Insert File, insert the file you just made.
3) select the part with the accented letters, then choose various fonts.
Result: with some fonts (code2000, Freeserif, Century Schoolbook..) the accented
chars are displayed correctly.
With other fonts (FreeSans, CourierNew, FreeMono) the accented chars are changed:
e.g ø becomes ¯, ö becomes ^, é becomes È, è becomes Ë.
It appears to be a bug in oo, not in the fonts, because this does not happen
in Abiword.
