Description Peter 2018-01-07 18:08:07 UTC
Description:
This bug is in Calc as well as in Writer.
I installed special font on my computer but some characters are not displayed correctly. For example character with ASCII code 189 (or 178,179, 185, 186, etc), however, majority of characters is displayed correctly.
I tested the font in other Windows apps (Excel, Word, Notepad) and all the characters are displayed correctly.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install font SenaKJR (can be downloaded here: http://www.gvd.cz/cz/data/fonty/fonty_SENA.zip)
2. in calc enter formula =CHAR(189)
3. change font of the cell to SenaKJR

Actual Results:  
(˝) character is displayed, which is character corresponding to the ASCII code, however, not in this font. 

Expected Results:
There should be wifi logo displayed, which is the correct character for the ascii code 189 in the font.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Many other characters are displayed correctly.
If I save the spreadsheet with this character in Calc and re-open it in Excel, it displays correctly: WiFi logo.

Using our <Alt>+X conversion, the PUA codepoint for the U+F0BD "WiFi" can be applied.

But why is the WiFi glyph mapped to Unicode U+2126 Capital OMEGA? Other glyphs are Unicode mapped as well. 

Seems to be a bit ill-implemented symbol font => NOB?
