Re: asian language support in openoffice document
Thanks for the replies, they were most useful. Ended up adding quite a few packages. It would appear that the Chinese part of the document remains unreadable because of how the author has saved the document, as opposed to the setup of this machine. I'll go back to the author...

asian language support in openoffice document
Hi, does anyone have any experience with Asian language support in documents? I have received a doc which apparently has Chinese characters in it (mixed in with English) but which displays various unicode characters in substitution. I perhaps need to address 2 issues, in kubuntu and then in OpenOffice, but am looking for any advice anyone may have in getting this to work. I am told by other viewers (overseas) that they see the characters however they probably have the relevant fonts installed on their local machines and are no doubt running flavours of Windows and using Word. Any pointers would be appreciated. Cheers, Roger
