i#32785 is about BIFF5 *export*, while this bug is about BIFF5 *import*. And
actually LO imports and honors the CODEPAGE record. The problem is that for
this bugdoc it equals to 1252 (Latin I).

There is also additional problem with the FONT record that in BIFF5 stores the
charset as well, and it equals to 1 - which corresponds to DEFAULT_CHARSET used
in the LOGFONT WinAPI structure, which according to MSDN - "DEFAULT_CHARSET is
set to a value based on the current system locale. For example, when the system
locale is English (United States), it is set as ANSI_CHARSET." - means there is
no way to know the used charset from it. (And the charset stored in the FONT
record is preferred by LO over the CODEPAGE one).
