Issue ID: 128550 Issue Type: DEFECT Summary: Wrong accentuated characters from old .rtf files Product: Writer Version: 4.1.13 Hardware: Mac OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: Normal Priority: P5 (lowest) Component: open-import Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org Reporter: fil...@ill.eu Target Milestone: --- Let me 1st stress that macOS OpenOffice is the last software I know that is still able to open early 90's RTF files containing PICT (or PCT) bitmap/vectorial images. This an invaluable tool when, like me, you're digging old corporate archives for an historical work. Long live OpenOffice! Both LibreOffice and Microsoft Word import only the text from those old .rtf files but miss an embedded pict-image converter. However OpenOffice has a problem with accentuated characters from these old files. Each one is displayed as an invalid character as shown below: OpenOffice: Ž ‘ ‰ Š ” Ÿ ž Ÿ Ï Hexa : C5BD EF8690 EF868F E28098 E280B0 C5A0 E2809D C5B8 C5BE C5B8 EF868D C38F Characters: é ê è ë â ä î ü û ü ç œ Hexa : C3A9 C3AA C3A8 C3AB C3A2 C3A4 C3AE C3BC C3BB C3BC C3A7 C593 This is not a critical bug but it should be relatively easy to correct it since both LibreOffice and Word display the right accentuated characters. The attached file is a .rtf file dating back to 1990 and containing both a lot of accentuated characters and some pict-images. It was prepared on Mac OS (classic) with the vintage WriteNow 4.0 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WriteNow> which wrongly adds a space after each accentuated character. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue.
