Priority: medium
Bug ID: 77753
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: FILESAVE: Embedding font does not work for a
particular file with emoji and symbols in Unicode 6
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Whiteboard: BSA
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.2.2.1 release
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
Problem description: Consider the attached file of which the link is provided.
Open it on Windows 7. The font is not embedded properly to show the emoji or
symbols in Unicode 6. Squares or squares with question marks are shown.
Steps to reproduce:
1. I am a Debian Linux user. I install the fonts:
# aptitude install ttf-ancient-fonts
2. I restart the computer.
3. I start Google Chrome. I go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoji
4. I copy the emoji and symbols.
5. I start LibreOffice Writer. Click on Paste.
6. File -> Properties -> Font ->
7. Embed fonts in the document -> OK
8. Type a space and press Backspace
9. Click on File -> Save
10. Start Microsoft Windows 7. Open the file.
11. Squares or squares with question marks are shown. No emoji or symbols can
be found.
12. Link to the file:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ea429rd7qznhgum/emoji_and_symbols_test_does_not_embed_font_.odt
The file is very large.
Another bug report was filed for the "large size" problem by somebody else.
Current behavior: Only squares or squares with question marks are shown. No
emoji or symbols can be found. Embedding font does not work.
Expected behavior: Emoji and symbols should be shown. Embedding font should
work.
My possible guess: LibreOffice does not support those new Unicode characters.
The correct font name is not shown. LibreOffice should detect those characters.
The font seems to be Symbola but I cannot be sure of it. Copying
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-ancient-scripts/Symbola605.ttf
to Windows does not help to display the emoji and symbols.
Thank you for the hard work.
Best regards,
C. H. D.
