Description Unknown 2003-02-14 17:37:29 UTC 
When I use the character "" (ALT-0142) with "Windings" font in a cell, it 
doesn't show it correctly. Instead it displays a square. If you open the same 
file with Microsoft Excel 2000 the font appears correct.

In Ubuntu 9.10 with OpenOffice.org OOO320m11 Calc I see LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Z
WITH CARON (017D) if the cell is using "Windings" font in spreadsheet from
Windows.  So this special letter is correct I think even in Ubuntu and of course
in Windows. There is some black and white boxes and empty cells with some other
letters/signs in Ubuntu, but Windings is not a Ubuntu font. In Windows font
seems to me working normally.

Case closed?

The problem is still present with OpenOffice 3.2.1, in Windows Vista (at least).

How to reproduce:
1) create an Excel file
2) On a cell, select "Wingdings 2" font
3) Enter character using Alt+0153 (this is a circle)
4) Save the file
5) Open this file with OpenOffice
6) The displayed character is "TM" (trademark), not the circle anymore!

:-(

Thank you to reopen this bug, please!

Regards.

Maybe the latest observation is related to issue 113016 which is fixed in DEV300_m84. Please test.

Note: make sure that no obsolete version of the OpenSymbol font is installed on the test system
