This bug belongs to openoffice.org version 1:2.3.0-1ubuntu5.3 in gutsy- updates.
downgrading to 1:2.3.0-1ubuntu5 (gutsy release) gives you back the ä and the other special characters. as this bug report dates to 2007-11-30 it may have been introduced with ubuntu5.2, as launchpad says 5.3 has been published in december. please release a version ubuntu5.4 reverting the patches done in 5.2 and 5.3 as the small bug fixes done there don't count against this ugly ä bug. -- Special characters are not displayed correctly, fonts dissappear from the menu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173090 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
