--- Comment #7 from Roman Eisele <[email protected]> --- While waiting for answers from the user, I like to note down some ideas about the “unknown character prefix and suffix”. Both glyphs are somewhat difficult to recognize on the screenshot, but according to their general shape I would guess that they come from the “Apple Symbols” font (which is used as a general glyph supplement source by Mac OS X). In this font, I find only two glyphs which are similar. Both don’t have a Unicode value assigned to them, but are private glyphs which can be used to display Unicode values which don’t have a visual representation themselves. 1) The first (opening one) reads “LRE” and is called “uni202A.ChartForm” in the font, i.e. it is a visual representation for U+202A, which is the “LEFT-TO-RIGHT EMBEDDING” mark. 2) The second (closing one) reads “PDF” and is called “uni202C.ChartForm” in the font, i.e. it is a visual representation for U+202C, which is the “POP DIRECTIONAL FORMATTING” mark. But this does not yet explain why these two glyphs do appear here; especially given the fact that both glyphs don’t have an Unicode value on their own. Ideas: -- Does the popup text contain -- by some error -- U+202A and U+202C here, and the System uses the two special visible glyphs to display these invisible marks? -- Or does LibreOffice use U+202A and U+202C intentionally here, and is the problem only that on the specific machine these two marks do get displayed, instead of being invisible marks just used for text rendering? -- Or ...? Of course, I hope some expert for the traditional Chinese UI translation, or for the code used to display the east-Asian text in the LibreOffice UI could help to find out what could be the reason for those glyphs to appear there ... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
