Max, if you upload the document with Latin and Cyrillic symbols, I can try to reproduce your problem. Also, if you choose File -> Print -> Print Preview then does the preview look right? When you export to PDF, do you choose File -> Print -> Print to File ... or do you choose File -> Export As -> Export As PDF ... PS: I'm not a developer. I submitted a few bugs/reports myself and I'm trying to confirm the bugs that other people reported here.

File -> Print -> Print Preview --- looks alright 'File -> Print -> Print to File' and 'File -> Export As -> Export As PDF' give the same result
I'm really sorry, but I can't reproduce this bug. I'm running Linux/Debian10 and I tried it with LibreOffice 6.1 , 6.3 , 6.4 and 7.0. All the PDF's that I created looked correct. As an example I added attachment "testLO64fe.pdf". This PDF also looks correct when I open it in Firefox and Konqueror. To show what it looks like in these browsers, I added "FirefoxTestLO64fe.png" and "KonquerorTestLO64fe.png" Here's what I did: I already had installed versions 6.1 , 6.3 and 7.0. Max, because you are using version 6.4.2.2, I also installed version 6.4.3.2. Not every font supports every available character set. That's why I copied and pasted the line "Test тест" and I changed the font of the second line to Cantarell. In all cases I created the PDF's via File -> Print -> Print to File ... and via File -> Export As -> Export As PDF ... Max, - I made screen copy "FileExportAsPDF.png". Please check if you are using the same settings. - Can you only view PDF's with Firefox, or can you also open them with programs like "Document Viewer" , "Atril Document Viewer" , another PDF utility or another browser? ~~~ Here are the versions that I used: Firefox 68.7 esr (64 bit) LibreOffice versions: Version: 6.1.5.2 Build ID: 1:6.1.5-3+deb10u5 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.19; UI render: default; VCL: gtk2; Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group threaded Version: 6.3.4.1 Build ID: a21169d87339dfa44546f33d6d159e89881e9d92 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.19; UI render: default; VCL: gtk2; Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded Version: 6.4.3.2 Build ID: 747b5d0ebf89f41c860ec2a39efd7cb15b54f2d8 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.19; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded Version: 7.0.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 4d03bd252274308f64332e7c0523068c38ac684a CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.19; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@86-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2020-04-26_05:59:56 Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded

This is not usually reproducible, so Lubuntu or qt5 or reporter's machine.
(In reply to Timur from comment #10) > This is not usually reproducible, so Lubuntu or qt5 or reporter's machine. Alas, fresh install of lubuntu 20.04 with preinstalled libre. Previously lubuntu 18.04 with libre 6.3 work just fine. I'll wait. Maybe 20.04.1 will fix it
Max, I just remembered that the document looks alright on your screen via: File -> Print -> Print Preview and that could give you an alternative solution. If you print to a piece of paper, and if that looks alright too, you could try to install an extra "Print to PDF" driver. There's a small chance that that solves your problem.

Although I've installed cups-pdf and exported doc with it .. and opened PDF without any warnings.. still no avail: it's empty. However, preview works fine. Physical printer spits out empty page. I'll dig into cups settings later.
cups is alright, pdf's generated elsewhere prints ok. Thus is a problem of libre installation. Alas, I have to migrate to OnlyOffice, at least for now.
max, you can try to find yourself what happens with other LO versions. Simplest is to use AppImage runtime from https://libreoffice.soluzioniopen.com (from Old up to Daily 7.0+ master although it's old) Also you may try to use other desktop env. from commandline with: 'SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen soffice' or 'SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk3 soffice' ?

Different versions from soluzioniopen.com didn't work. But changing desktop environment did! Both of them, though 'gen' one produced very outdated interface for my liking. my VCL is QT5: echo $SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN => qt5 In /usr/bin/startlxqt I have: if [ -z "$SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN" ]; then export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=kde4 fi Since my VCL var is not empty, I just added: SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk3 -- it didn't work. So for now I edited desktop shortcut for writer in /usr/share/applications/libreoffice-writer.desktop: libreoffice --writer ==> SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk3; libreoffice --writer and now it works fine. Any suggestions for more elegant solution?
