Bug ID: 158033
Summary: Writer Docx to PDF export fails to render asian fonts
in V7
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.0 all versions
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Asian character font rendering in the Writer Docx to PDF export appears to
consistently break after a specific point in the PDF document, resulting in
tofu box characters, while still rendering correctly in the Writer application.
Note, the character set and font is the same across the pages where the
breakage occurs.
I have tried multiple linux distros and a range of libreoffice versions and
distributables (both distro and libreoffice.org maintained packages).
This regression is only present in Libreoffice v7, reverting to 6.4.7.2 solve
the issue.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Ensure all asian character fonts is installed and supported e.g. (apt-get
install fonts-noto-cjk)
2. Export docx to PDF either via the GUI or command line
3. Open PDF to observe the issue near the end of the document.
Actual Results:
After a certain number of pages in the exported PDF document, the expected
asian font character are replaced with tofu box characters.
Expected Results:
We should see the correctly encoded asian characters.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
