Hi everyone :)The Vietnamese Windows build for OpenOffice.org 2.1 has been blocked by the persistent lack of Unicode support in NSIS, which results in scrambled installer screens:

which in turn resulted in users abandoning OpenOffice.org and trashing the app. :(
We followed up NSIS development, but the developer has no current interest in providing Unicode support.
Luckily, the l10n expertise here at OpenOffice.org has provided a workaround. :)
NSIS _does_ support legacy encodings, so as long as you can convert your installer-screens' precomposed characters to decomposed Unicode, the OpenOffice.org code will provide the appropriate legacy encoding to display it. Here is the same screen, using the converted code:
http://www.openoffice.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/41942/vi-1.pngIssue 73192 contains the conversion script to apply to your GSI file. I suggest only applying it to files used to create Windows builds, as some systems/software have problems displaying decomposed characters. If we keep all the other builds precomposed, we will minimize the probability of display errors.
