Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 81970
Export to PDF for symbol glyphs in PDF-builtin fonts (i.e. EURO symbol)
Last modified: 2007-11-05 11:25:19 UTC
Hi! I just installed Oo 2.3 in Italian and when saving an odt document in pdf format it does not save correctly the Euro € symbol. The previous 2.2 version worked correctly. Thank you for your help, this Oo feature is basic for my work. Regards Cosimo Mendis

Created attachment 48518 [details] odt file with € symbol correct
@HDU: please have a look. Windows only.
I can reproduce it on unxlngi6 too.
A quick workaround for users is to use the corresponding truetype font (e.g. TimesNewRoman instead of Times).
@PL: in builds <=SRC680_m200 the Euro symbol gets encoded as 80 (WinAnsiEncoding) in the PDF, in builds >=SRC680_m220 the Euro symbol gets encoded as AC (WinAnsiEncoding) in the PDF. Unfortunately this code AC is already taken by "logicalnot". I suspect this regression was introduced by the big PDF-export changes in SRC680_m208 for the fix for issue 74609.
By the way, the encoding AC for the Euro sign looks suspiciously like a lower bits of the unicode U+20AC (euro-currency-sign).
Fixed in CWS vcl83. The regression seems to be introduced by vcl/source/gdi/pdfwriter_impl.cxx:1.102.66.1 @pl: please verify
@hi: is this regression worthy of a target 2.3.1? @pl: please check, let HI verify
adjusting the issue summary to the root cause
Hi: I followed your instructions and the problem is solved if using Times New Roman instead of Times. Though in Oo 2.2 this problem did not existed...! Thanks
@cosimomen: thanks for the feedback. Please don't change the issue status from FIXED to REOPENED, unless you checked that the fix doesn't work. > Though in Oo 2.2 this problem did not existed...! That would explain why I mentioned "regression" in the issue's summary, keywords and some comments ;-)
