I'm having a strange and very frustrating problem with font encoding in
OOo on Ubuntu Feisty. For some reason, certain fonts are rendering some
special characters wrong -- for instance, Times New Roman is rendering
a-umlaut as a special percent symbol. I opened a document I had been
using yesterday, and all a-umlaut characters were wrong. I can fix it
by changing fonts, but I really don't want to have to change the font on
all my documents.
I have been trying all kinds of things to narrow down the problem. The
incorrect characters show up the wrong way in the Insert->Special
character table, and they are wrong at least in Writer and Calc.
However, the problematic fonts work fine in other applications, which is
why I think the problem must lie with OOo and not Ubuntu. I tried
re-installing all OOo packages, which actually fixed some problems, but
not all of them.
This seems like such a crazy problem, happening overnight the way it
did, for no apparent reason. I'm willing to try compiling OOo from
source if I have to, although I'd rather avoid it if possible. I'm
guessing there must be some component that is causing this issue, so if
someone could help me identify that component, perhaps I could just
download that particular shared library or whatever it is.
Thanks for any help.
