A friend of mine is using Ubuntu Natty and LibreOffice, with a Chinese

problems.
My understanding is that LibreOffice uses utf-8 by default. Where is the
likeliest place to look for the culprit here? Mismatched fonts between
different systems? Other people's computers opening the files in a
default Chinese encoding (usually GB2312) rather than utf-8? If someone
can tell me where to start looking, I hope I can provide some more
useful debugging info…
Thanks!

Is there an issue with the font itself?
I know many of my fonts do not support the Unicode font options that
have the Chinese characters in them. These fonts also show the
"standard Latin" characters.
Is there a way for you to make sure everyone is using the same font on
all the computers? I know that LibreOffice will tell me the document's
text is CG Omega in the font bar list, even though I did not have it
installed on my desktop. It tries it's best to substitute the shown
font so it looks like the used font. [I think it does this]
So can you share the font used by the Chinese environment computer with
the people that receive the document[s]?
I know that there should be free fonts that can work for Ubuntu,
Windows, and Mac OSX, and are proper for the Chinese language.
