Uh, no, you generally can't use a patch from LibreOffice for Apache OpenOffice
unless the author of that patch agrees to it.
If Zolnai Tamás were to contribute it to i59059, that would be best.
Don't do that yourself. Others will have to decide what the policy is in this
case and how the patch can be handled. I'm not a regular here and don't know
what specific policy will apply. Andreas will know, of course.
It is good that you asked.
PS: I can confirm the bug. The ODF in the test documents is correct. AOO
4.1.1 loses that information on loading the document (as did older versions of
LibreOffice). LibreOffice 4.3.1.2 loads the document correctly. I also
replicated the bug by making a similar document of my own in AOO 4.1.1 and
confirming that the drop cap style when set is not reloaded correctly even
though it is set properly (and opens correctly in LibreOffice 4.3.1.2).

The issue 59059, as Bugzilla says, is fixed in LO. I went into the BZ link for
LO and found out there is a patch for it. Can I take and use the patch directly
in AOO code? I checked it and AOO code is exactly the same, but still have to
run it to see if the code works.

Looks good. You'll need someone with better knowledge of the ODF
internals than me if you have questions, but this is what this list is
meant for, so don't hesitate and ask!
Regards,
Andrea.
