This seems to be a problem with the font chosen.
Please make sure to use a font that ist available on your system and
contains these characters.
I can successfully "export" these characters (using export to PDF)
when I choose "Gentium" ( http://www.sil.org/~gaultney/gentium/
)instead of "Times"
Please comment. (When "printing" to a pdf ghostscript replaces times
with a replacement font shipped with ghostscript)

Well with the Gentium fontset it works now, however with any other 
font i tried it fails. Thanks anyway.

Comment 13 thorsten.ziehm 2003-05-20 10:26:01 UTC 
All tasks are verified in OOo1.1 Beta2
Comment 14 Unknown 2003-10-16 20:44:12 UTC 
I am sorry, but this issue appears in OO 1.1.0 again.
Comment 15 pavel 2003-11-28 19:49:30 UTC 
As this happens with 1.1.0 English, I'm reopening it.

This bug:

http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=13841

is marked as a duplicate of this, but it still is not fixed. Even in
current fix1 tree.

Sample documents (sxw and exported PDF) are atteched to
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=13794
test.sxw and test.pdf. I;m ready to prvide any other needed info you
want to get this fixed for 1.1.1.
Comment 16 h.ilter 2003-12-15 11:28:54 UTC 
HI->PL: Reproducible with 1.1RC5
Comment 17 h.ilter 2003-12-15 11:33:00 UTC 
Just wait for OOo 1.1.1 at first where it should be fixed.
Comment 18 dtbal 2003-12-15 13:07:44 UTC 
I found a solution/workaround in the end. Since not only ppt->pdf, but MSWord
doc->pdf export was also a problem, and only under Linux and not under MSWinXP,
I found as follows. The badly converted documents were written in MSOffice using
the  "New Times Roman" TT fonts, which were not available under Linux. (In OOo
opening the Format->Character menu it complained somewhat about it.) As soon as
I installed the "New Times Roman" TTF under Linux X server XFree86, the problem
dissapeared.

Hi hdu,
I think this is something for you...

Here's another issue with pdf-export problems...

There are some characters which are replaced by "?" in the pdf...

(I tried this with a 680m17)
Comment 20 hdu@apache.org 2003-12-17 09:47:56 UTC 
HDU->PL: core reason duplicate to issue 18964 (missing glyph fallback in PDF)?
Comment 21 hdu@apache.org 2003-12-18 15:40:28 UTC 
forgot to reassign.
Comment 22 philipp.lohmann 2003-12-18 16:03:30 UTC 
The problem with Times is indeed fixed in another issue: issue 18964 which will
be available in 1.1.1. Times is a special case as it is one of the 14 PDF
builtin fonts. This issue was about type1 fonts.

Therefore i'll close this issue again.
