Hi! I've had this same problem with two separate 64bit laptops running Ubuntu 8.10 Intreped Ibex (with all updates from repositories) and Open Office 2.4.1. (openoffice.org-core 1:2.4.1-11ubuntu2.1) during past month (Feb-Mar 2009). In my case the problem occured with Finnish language text written with Arial font. Both small and capital A-umlaut ( ä ) got temporarily corrupted.
Although, reinstalling msttcorefonts did the trick for me, I sincerely concur with the above, that a working office suite must be included in the normal repositories. Cheers, Jukka PS: My horror scenario is that the problem reoccurs one day when I'm giving a speech or presentation somewhere.... -- [upstream] [hardy] Special characters are not displayed correctly, fonts dissappear from the menu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173090 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
