The difference between Windows and a typical Linux is that the latter usually
provide a lot more styles
for DejaVu. And Writer selects a random style, e.g. when DejaVuSans-Extralight
is available it likes to
select "DejaVu Sans", weight=WEIGHT_LIGHT, width=WIDTH_SEMI_CONDENSED. And this
style of
"DejaVu Sans" does not contain all the glyphs of their mainstream counterparts.
So the best way to really fix it is for Writer+EditEngine+etc. to fix its
handling of font styles. A less
expensive solution would be to request the "Regular" style.
A similar but not-as-good solution could be that the InsertSpecial dialog
should ignore the styles
Writer and the other apps request and just use "Regular". I can see some
problem reports that a
workaround like this would result in: "Why are you ignoring the font style! We
explicitely requested it!
..."
The quickest workaround would be to deinstall the dejavu-experimental package
on Linux.
And there is of course the UI-question what is the best way to handle the
situation when the faces of
the same font family have a wildly different selection of unicode coverage. If
anyone has a good idea
how to solve this scenario please submit this to the good UX-experts (assign an
"enhancement" issue
to "requirements").
