Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 27565
Latvian characters / diacritics mangled in RTF
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:25:55 UTC
On Windows XP and Windows2000 (probably other versions as well) using if one saves document as RTF, then diacritical marks (both uppercase and lowercase) "sh" "š" "s-caron" and "zh" "ž" "z-caron" are not saved properly. Problem arose on previous versions of OO as well, but example is from OO v1.1.1. build 8762. Interestingly, if old type of Baltic fonts is used (for instance BaltTimes) then characters with diacritical marks are saved properly, although not in specified font (it seems that OO defaults to Arial), whereas if one chooses the correct font (for instance Arial) then those two characters become mangled. To reproduce this: Open blank OO document, type s-caron or z-caron, save as RTF, close, open the saved document. This bug was seen on three computers (2 with WinXP and 1 with Win2k). On Linux there are no such problems.
Created attachment 14379 [details] RTF with mangled "sh" and "zh"
Created attachment 14380 [details] The same characters in SXW unmangled
additonal information : windows 2k, oo.org 1.1.0, 1.1.1 - unable to reproduce regional settings - latvian tested with times new roman also no significant differences known that could cause this behaviour
MRU->MMAHER: the RTF here seems to be a non-MS standard. when I re-save this RTF with Word 2003, Writer imports it without problem.
Forgot to re-assign.
according to the announcement on releases (http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=releases&msgNo=7503) this issue will be re-targeted to OOo Later.
mmaher->flr: Your's methinks
reassigning to hbrinkm
