Description gorkem 2003-05-27 13:32:39 UTC 
Hi 

I've attached an MS Excel document when, upon opening under OOo 643, does not
show the Turkish characters correctly. The problem is, I should have seen the
Turkish characters (g breve, i dotless, s thorn etc) instead of Icelandic
counterparts.

This problem is reproduced under an Microsoft Windows 2000 with OpenOffice.org
1.1 beta 1 installed. We got the same result.

Note that I've managed to open many (non-MS Office 95) files without any hassle
and/or problems with OOo 643 including Arial fonts.

I'm using Linux kernel 2.4.18, OOo 643.

Thanks!

Hi,

please try OOo1.1 final. I've checked it on Linux and Windows and
haven't found a missing character.

So closing as worksforme.

Hi,

this is not a bug.

Excel 5 is not Unicode capable. So The characters can't be interpreted in the
correct way. Also the Excel 5 Filter is not developed any further. We have to
focus on the currently used format which is Excel97/2000/xp.

I'm sorry to tell you, but I've to close this Issue as wontfix.

Thanks for your kind reply and continuous, invaluable contribution to 
OpenOffice.org, Frank.
