Zip file with a ODT file with emoji, and the converted PDF file

Hi Everyone,

I'm working on Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal), x86_64, fully patched. Ubuntu 20 has LibreOffice 6.4.6.2 40 (Build:2).

I am using lowriter to convert an ODT to a PDF from the command line. The ODT has emoji's in them, like:

    “Bonnie Conte shared "💋FUCK💋 ME💋 TONIGHT!!! 💋💋" with you.”

After processing with lowriter, the PDF lacks the emoji's:

    “Bonnie Conte shared "   FUCK   ME   TONIGHT!!!    " with you.”

The script I am using is pretty simple. Here is the relevant part:

    for odt_file in "${odt_files[@]}"
    do
        lowriter --convert-to pdf "${odt_file}"
    done

It is important the the emoji's survive since I am preparing a legal complaint. I want to court to see an accurate representation of the email message.

==========

It is not clear to me if the bug report Component should be "Printing and PDF export" or "Writer". My apologies if "Writer" is worng.

Sounds like a duplicate of bug 129523 to me.

Thanks Dieter.

Sorry about the duplicate. I'm not sure why the search for the Emoji issue turned up no hits.

(I am not too impressed with Bugzilla's search feature. It seems to be stuck in the 1990s).
