Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 45138
Certain Japanese kanji are not displayed
Last modified: 2005-03-16 14:55:23 UTC
When typing a line in Japanese, certain kanji are not displayed. When I type "watashi ha gakusei" 私は学生, kanji for "gaku", the third character from the left, is ommited and a blank space takes its. When I select all, copy, and paste into another application, the kanji is there. When I paste back into oowriter, it is gone again. This used to happen in older version 1.1.2 as well. I use kinput2+canna for my input, but the copy+paste observation suggests that input doesn't matter. Changing fonts does not solve the problem. This happens to more kanji than just "gaku" - if necessary I can try to find others.
Reassigned to US.
Looks fine at my side. You should have set the Asian document language to "Japanese" at "Tools/Options/Language Settings". Confirm with ok. Again open "Tools/Options" go to "OpenOffice.org Writer/Basic Fonts (Asian)" and hit the "Default" button. Now the problem shouldn't show up in *new* Writer documents any more. The above described procedure normally should happen automatically but doesn't work due to issue 32939. At my side the Sazanami fonts are chosen, but that depends on the fonts you actually have installed. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 32939 ***
Closing dupe.
