Hi. Yesterday this bug hit me severely. You open an old document, urgently need to print and edit it and these glyph replacements appear! It took me 2 hours to find the bug on the web, since it is already fixed for several distributions, except hardy/hardy-updates/hardy-security...
If there is any way to still get this into hardy ? If 2.4.2 doesn't get into hardy-updates, one could also fix it for current 2.4.1. Debian did it, ifdef' ing out the triggering code-patch, crosslinking: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=481518 and the changelog shows the bugfix for the corresponding upstream-bugtrack: http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/o/openoffice.org/openoffice.org_2.4.1+dfsg-1+lenny3/changelog#versionversion1:2.4.1-17 I add the corresponding patch that debian uses in ooo-build/patches/src680 The bug is severe for the ones that hit it. And I also believe that hardy (still LTS) should be fixed, since there is no way to around this bug staying within hardy.
