Description vbortz 2007-12-26 12:04:52 UTC

In the attached (hopefully, as I don't see an "attach" button) document, 
created with MS Word in Hebrew, instead of the standard European symbols for 
Arabic numbers (1,2,3 etc) the completely different (i.e. unreadable) Arabic-
Indic symbols appear. 
In additition to the document itself, I want to attach (but so far don't see 
how) two screen shots of its view in MS Word and in OOo Writer 2.4 (beta). 

Thanks,
Vitaly.

MRU->HDU: please have a look, the numbers in the attached document are not shown
correctly (as "rectangle symbol") in the font "David".

Someone sets the digit language incorrectly...

OD->HBRINKM:
Please have a look, if it is a WW8 import filter problem, Thx.

Comment 8 hennerdrewes 2008-03-15 11:10:42 UTC

The fix #i81577# TranslateToHindiNumbers should be language sensitive. 

Releasing OOo 2.4 with this bug makes it pretty impossible to import Hebrew doc
files (as numbers are not such rare characters). In my opinion it would be
better to remove TranslateToHindiNumbers until it is fixed.

Maybe this is related to issue 86811 or the other way around?

Comment 11 kaplanlior 2008-04-05 00:04:44 UTC

troodon -> 86811 exists only on 2.4.0 and not in 2.3.x. But the result described
here is the same as 86811. (the bug is currently marked as bug in 2.3.1)

As the attached screen shots are from 2.4, I'd say this is a duplicate for
86811. Although this bug was opened first, we have more info about the problem
in 86811, so I suggest to mark this one as the duplicate.
