Description Unknown 2003-10-08 17:53:54 UTC 
When exporting as PDF file, capital omega symbol becomes question mark.  Much of
my work involves using this symbol to represent ohms, the measure of resistance
of a circuit.

I have checked this with OOo 1.1.0 on a Win98 machine, the Omega
symbol inserted into text via > Insert > Special char > chosen font:
system.ttf.

The omega shows in the pdf file. Please tell what symbol font you use,
better even attach a Writer file for us which reproduces your problem.

@ hdu: I think this is something for you... 
       If I am right there's a glyph substitution on the screen which is not 
       "transported" to the pdf. In the printout you can find an omega but not in 
       the right font (e.g. Times)...
       I'll attach a sample document and the resulting pdf...

HDU->PL: is the root cause for this the same as in issue 18964?
Comment 7 philipp.lohmann 2003-12-12 10:25:32 UTC 
This indeed seems to be duplicate to issue 18964
