Description Willem 2021-10-07 14:57:58 UTC 
Description:
To PDF exported text files (odt) with unicode characters are missing the unicode characters using LibreOffice Linux. Examples U+260E (black phone); U+1F4F1 (mobile phone) and U+1F4E7 (e-mail). In windows all characters are exported to the pdf and in iOS some.
Temporary solution: 1. create odt in Libreoffice Linux; 2. Open .odt in Libreoffice Windows; 3. Export PDF with LibreOffice Windows. 


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open LibreOffice for Linux (Ubuntu)
2. make a textfile with unicode U+260E; U+1F4F1; U+1F4E7
3. export to PDF
4. Examine PDF file for output unicode characters.

Actual Results:
In all Linux versions I tried, unicode characters were not exported

Expected Results:
Export symbols like black phone; mobile phone or e-mail symbol


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Results in Windows and iOS versions of Libreoffice differ.
Under Windows all characters are shown in the PDF file.
Using LibreOffice in iOS some characters are exported, some are not.

Which font are you using? I do not find these characters in standard fonts like Liberation or C fonts (Caladea/Carlito/Cantarell). In DejaVu I only found the black phone.

Please attach a text document containing these 3 characters.

Status has been set to NEEDINFO, please set it back to UNCONFIRMED once requested information has been provided.

Best regards. JBF

Which versions specifically did you try? There have been some other bugs that have been fixed recently regarding Unicode characters and PDF.

Comment 8 ⁨خالد حسني⁩ 2022-09-13 14:04:31 UTC 
This is duplicate of bug 129523 and relate to bug 150398 (as the user might want text presentation here, not colored emoji).

The immediate fix of the issue is to explicitly specify a font for the symbols that is not a color emoji font, and not rely on font fallback.
