Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 21056
OpenSymbol Version 1.6 (47kB) doesn't work on Win9x
Last modified: 2003-10-13 13:07:17 UTC
OOo1.1.0 (final) is distributed with OpenSymbol version 1.6 (47kB). On my Win98SE-PC, not all of the the enumeration symbol are displayed correctly, but a square is showed instead, meaning there are some missing symbols. If I replace the file OPENS___.TTF in my %windir%\FONTS directory with an older file (Version 1.3, 101kB) downloaded from http://www.8ung.at/ooo.org/OpenSymbol.zip, all enumeration symbols are displayed in the right way. By reading the mailing-list users@de.openoffice.org I found that I am not the only WIN98 user with this problem. However, I installed OOo1.1.0 (final) also on some WinXP-machines and on a SuSE-8.2-platform. Here, the new OpenSymbol file version 1.6 (47kB) worked without any problems. So I guess this is a Win9x-problem. But because OpenOffice is intended to run on Win9x-machines too, I started this issue. Some other, similar issues (17287, 19186, 19187) exist, but they don't match exactly my problem.
