Public bug reported:

This bug is so weird and strange that I hardly know how to formulate it.

When I open certain documents that I have, some (non-English) letters
cannot be used. Namely, the Swedish letters å ö ä. Writing them results
in some weird characters (see the attached screenshot). Other characters
turn out wrong as well, such as "»", "é", or sometimes É.

On the other hand, this does not always happen. Sometimes, if I start
openoffice from the application menu instead of starting it by opening a
document, the letters work fine. Sometimes the capital Ö Ä Å fail
whereas the small letters work, and so on.

>locale

gives

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=sv_SE.utf8
LC_NUMERIC=sv_SE.utf8
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY=sv_SE.utf8
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER=sv_SE.utf8
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

But I've tried varying that...
