Upon selecting the default Fontwork object, I press F2 to enter Chinese character. That is all I did to this file. (9.32 KB, application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text)

Description hwtan 2005-02-02 04:08:22 UTC 
It seems like Fontwork does not recognise Unicode characters. Unlike in the word
processor when Asian characters are input, they are recognised by Writer and the
font to use is changed automatically. In Fontwork however, the type of character
is totally ignored. User needs to change the western font to a Asian ttf font in
order to get fontwork to work as expected.

In the last attachment, after entering the Chinese text, it is displayed as
squares. Although Format-character shows that the Asian text font as a Chinese
font, Fontwork in fact is using the western text font. Only if I change the
western text font to a Chinese font, the desired result appeared.
