I have just experienced the same misbehavior of OO with special characters. Yesterday I saved my file, it was working ok. Today it was broken. The characters affected for me were: éóúçãôâí (replaced by È, Û, "," , differently positioned dots, etc...) Not affected: ê. I'm writing in Brazilian Portuguese.
If I bold the text, special characters are displayed correctly. I'm using First Line Indent style and Arial Font. Headings are displayed correctly (probably because they are bold...). Screenshot attached. I updated a few packages yesterday, but can't say if they are involved... they seem unrelated to me. I found a workaround for this. Saving my file to DOC made the characters display correctly. Then after saving again to ODT characters are still ok. I tried editing and saving the file a few times, but it still works... (repeating the same with RTF gives the same result, but the styles are more messed up...) Anyhow, the something that went wrong with the file, which caused OO to not identify the characters correctly, was ironed out by converting the documents to other formats. I have no idea of what triggered the bug. ** Attachment added: "ODT file displaying special characters incorrectly" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/16667255/odtbug.jpg -- [upstream] [hardy] 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 subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
