Subject: libreoffice-calc: Japanese characters not correctly displayed

Date: Thu, 03 Oct 2013 10:20:57 +0900

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: libreoffice-calc
Version: 1:4.1.1-1+b1
Severity: normal

Dear LibreOffice maintainers and debian-japanese subscribers,

it has been a long time that I have a strange problem with LibreOffice
Calc: while it can display Japanese characters in the Input line, it
replaces them with a rectangular box in the cell itself.

I attached a test file and a screenshot to illustrate.  Using the same
file Gnumeric displays the character correctly.  It seems that, in the
cells only, LibreOffice is not able to use a replacement font to
display Japanese (and probably other CJK) characters.  For instance,
if in the attached file I change the font from Liberation Sans (or any
Latin-oriented font) to a Japanese-oriented font ( *-gothic, *-mincho,
etc), then the problem dissapears.

Would there be a simple solution to this problem ?

Cheers,

-- Charles Plessy, Tsurumi, Kanagawa, Japan

Generaly speaking, Asiatics languages support is broken in LO as for 
viewing and typing.

Search LO bugtracker with keywords japanese, CJK, Chinese, Hangul, ibus; 
everything is more or less broken.

I could not reproduce the bug with LO 5.1.0.3, but it seems random 
according to comments.
