Description lwchk 2003-03-01 08:12:15 UTC 
Note:
1. this message is in UTF-8 format
2. I'm using 644_m4

Some of the punctuations just doesn't work...
for example... 「中文ã€Â（深水埗）became ï¹Â中文﹂︵深水埗︶

Well, does this bug apply to printing also? I have no ps printers so I can't 
try it.

cp->pl: glyph substitution ?
Comment 4 philipp.lohmann 2003-03-06 13:12:59 UTC 
pl->hdu: please note the platform.
Comment 5 hdu@apache.org 2003-05-21 07:44:59 UTC 
HDU->LWCHK: There is a good chance that it works in the meantime. It
would be great if you could confirm the problem is still there.

Need to find a system to recreate the problem...
Comment 6 lwchk 2003-05-21 14:45:13 UTC 
using 644m11 (24-4-2003) and WinME, and the problem is still there...

well, find systems to recreate? i guess you should be be better than
me on that... i don't have resources to build nightlies.

anyway, just install the fonts, enable CJK in oo, paste my first UTF-8
message, and publish.

(oo didn't give an asian font when i paste the text, and chinese are
rendered as rectangles until i switched the style from 'preformatted'
to 'default'... where should i send this extra issue to?)

Fixed in CWS VCL13, will get in 1.1RC2. 
(tracker tasks 109639, 110440 )
Comment 12 hdu@apache.org 2003-06-25 12:56:42 UTC 
HDU->US:  When you verified 110440 please also change the 
status in this issue..

US->HI: Pls. verify together with internal task #110440#. Thanks.
Comment 14 h.ilter 2003-06-25 17:28:28 UTC 
There goes something wrong with Windows.
I create a pdf file with VCL13 which is saved under ../HDU/11938.pdf
Please have a look.

A font was used that did not contain the required glyphs. Else 
it works just fine, so this problem is fixed. 
 
The problem with the document and its exported PDF 
mentioned above is that the detection if a fallback is needed is 
not yet 100% reliable. This is another issue. Anyway it is a bad 
idea to write something in a font that doesn't have the required 
letters. It's like writing chinese on a western typewriter using 
dots and commas and manual paper adjustments...
Comment 16 hdu@apache.org 2003-06-26 12:14:11 UTC 
rassigning... please check with a font that contains all required 
characters to verify just this issue.
Comment 17 h.ilter 2003-06-30 10:26:37 UTC 
HI->HDU: As you seen on my machine there is still a problem.
Comment 18 h.ilter 2003-06-30 14:48:33 UTC 
HI: Ok, with Arial unicode it works also under windows, so we can say
this issue is fixed.
