I checked that in Sinhala Interface. It's Working correctly.

But useing English Interface, it's not working correctly. All sinhala charactors
are visible in boxes. Automaticly selected (default) font is "Mangal". "Mangal"
is a default Tamil font.

I found solution for this error.

1. Open "Open Office".
2. Go to Tools --> Option
3. Select OpenOffice.Org --> Fonts.
4. Tic the Check Box of "Apply replacement table"
5. Select current font.
6. Select Replace font and Apply.
7. Tic the Check Boxes of "Always" & "Screen only"
8. Close & Reopen "Open Office"

hdu, could you pls look at this bug?
Comment 4 hdu@apache.org 2010-03-25 11:58:36 UTC 
I'd advice to use the Tools->Options->LanguageSettings->Languages->DefaultDocumentLang->CTL 
to Sinhala. This method will work with builds newer than OOO320_m16 or DEV300_m76, (or if you 
manually upgrade the VCL.xcu to the one mentioned in issue 107252). Things will get even better 
when CWS gfb4win02 gets integrated (issue 101552).

As far as I know you have a dedicated Sinhala build? Then it is a good idea to set the DefaultDocumentLang->CTL to Sinhala for this build. Sorry, I don't know in which configuration file 
this setting is kept.

I'd advice against the use of "Apply replacement table", as I'm lobbying for its removal. This tab-page 
with its "apply-always" and "apply-screenonly" checkmarks is just insanely illogical...
