I do not use the repository version, and I use Ubuntu 64bit 10.04. You would need to install in via the terminal, but http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/installation/linux/ will walk you through this. No need to uninstall anything either. Not ready for that yet. I wonder if adding the language packs could help you? You will need to go to 3.3.4, unless someone has archived the nl - Nederlands pack for 3.3.3. I do not understand Asian characters, so I do not know if there is a Mandarin language pack listed. I have the Swedish and Chinese language packs installed already. You could also try this Dutch dictionary and see it it works. http://libreoffice-na.us/English/add-on-dictionaries-large-list/Dutch_spelling_and_hyphenation_Dictionary--nl-dict-v2.00g2010-09-22.oxt :) I take it you're confusing this thread with another about a problem with the Dutch language. I assume you mean Swedish. As for the characters showing in LibreOffice - I am taking a guess here - could it be something to do with the default font you are using for LO's Calc? Format Character should place you to the dialog to set your default font. I would make sure your font is set for the same one you use in the other applications. As someone who has worked with collecting fonts [over 100,000 of them over the years] I find that many do not have some of the non-English characters that are common in other languages. I would make sure you use a good Unicode font [like Arial Unicode] and see if the problem goes away. Good try but no cigar. I always use the same font, and it has both the Swedish letters and Mandarin characters. //James -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

A little more information: On Aug 29, 2011, at 10:22 , James Wilde wrote: Can't think of a better subject line. This is about the Ubuntu repository version of LibO running under Ubuntu 11.04 linux.

The whole process went excellently with one small exception: the translation of the Swedish characters, å, ä and ö (and of course the capitals, Å, Ä and Ö which I have not tested). The html file quite clearly includes the following at the beginning: meta http-equiv=content-type content=text-html; charset=utf-8 However, I have had the explanation that the conversion below is the result of LibO taking the input as ISO-8859-1 and converting it to UTF-8. If someone in here can confirm this, I will write this up as a bug. As mentioned below in the original mail, this does not occur on Windows, nor on the Mac. (I just tested it on the Mac). Instead of seeing each of the three letters, in each case I saw two characters, Ã￥, for example instead of å. I checked the three characters in a hex editor, and found the following: å was represented by C3A5 in other applications, but as C383C2A5 in LibO ä was represented by C3A4 in other applications, but as C383C2A4 in LibO ö was represented by C3B6 in other applications, but as C383C2B6 in LibO I checked the original data in Gnucash, the intermediary form in the html file and the contents of content.xml in LibO. The first two had the short form, LibO had the second form. I have also checked the same information in Windows, although I have not yet used a hex editor in Windows. Both Excel and LibO Calc imported the data correctly, or rather, displayed it correctly. Before I report this as a bug, I'd like to be sure it's not something I'm missing in my configuration. All programs are set to use UTF-8, insofar as one can set it in the program rather than in the operating system. A late thought occurs to me. I use LibO Writer for writing Mandarin and have set 'Enabled for Asian languages' under Languages. Can this have affected the way LibO translates the non-English characters? Although LibO has actually _added_ two bytes to the characters. //James -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
