Hello, thank you for the speedy reply.
I am typing in Secwepemctsin (or shuswap). I downloaded aboriginal font from language geek years agao, and I am running two special characters with recorded macros (so after typing a letter it puts a comma on top or behind the letter just typed by pressing the assigned key (F3 or F5). This has been working well until about Ubuntu 11.04 or 11.10 ( don't remember exactly when the problem started). I am attaching a file, so you can see it for yourself, the scrambled words are highlighted yellow. (the offending character is one of the diacritical marks, and I am writing in Aboriginal Sans). Meanwhile, I also filed a bug-repoert with LibreOffice, and I found 3 log-files about a Java crash (I am not sure if this is even related), and filed a bug-report with them, because it asked that of me in the log-file. Sorry for being so long-winded and so amateurish. I apologize for my computer-ignorance. However, it is quite something to work on a document for many days and then opening it again to find it scrambled and unusable. (see attached file) Thank you for taking this seriously, Sabine On 8 December 2011 16:17, Christopher M.

I am preparing school-work and learning-materials in Libre-Office (formerly OpenOffice.org). I have countless hours and years of material. Lately certain special characters, which I have to use for the aboriginal language I am writing in, appear to scramble my words, and they become unreadable and documents are unusable. I do NOT know WHAT is causing this or which program is causing this, but it happens in LibreOffice documents (writer). HELP, PLEASE!!! I need to get this fixed in order to NOT loose a lifetime of documents. I am NOT a computer expert, so I do not know what else to do., or even how this is properly reported.
