Description sforbes 2002-12-03 23:28:34 UTC 
Hebrew user data entered during setup (and then it displayed ok) displays as
question marks in the options after the application is installed.

To repro:
1) install OO 643c on xp pro sp1, Hebrew local
2) in the setup program, Enter the user name, company name etc in Hebrew. - see
that they display fine
3) finish the installtion and open oo
4) tools -- options -- user date

Actual: All the Hebrew words entered in the setup display as question marks

Expected: they should stay in Hebrew

DL->DV: Would you please takeover?

Looks like issue 10347

It is diffrent from issue 10347:
* in issue 10347, the text is there, just ugly.
Here, the text is lost, and becomes question marks- even chnaging the
font as suggested in issue 10347 does not restore the text.
Please re-open.

Your missing glyph fallback?
Comment 5 hdu@apache.org 2003-01-23 16:54:24 UTC 
The feature to display text that cannot be displayed by the selected   
font (in this case the UI font) is not yet implemented. This case, 
where even the fallback font list needs to be dynamically determined 
is the most general glyph fallback method. This might take longer. 
 
A much easier solution would be to provide a Hebrew font for the 
Hebrew installation set and setting the default UI font accordingly.

Just tested with build cws_srx644_ooo20030223 and this happens on
Windows ME as well
Comment 7 hdu@apache.org 2003-02-26 16:41:01 UTC 
HDU->SB: When the data is entered everythings looks ok, when it gets  
converted for storing into the configuration the '?' appear...
Comment 8 Stephan Bergmann 2003-02-27 08:25:33 UTC 
SB->DV:  As discussed, handed back to you.  (FYI:
share/registry/data/org/openoffice/UserProfile.xcu contains question
marks instead of hebrew letters, so there is probably some conversion
problem during setup.)
Comment 9 dirk.voelzke 2003-03-11 13:39:30 UTC 
I'll take a look.
Comment 10 dirk.voelzke 2003-04-07 15:48:48 UTC
