Description Eyal Rozenberg 2021-12-14 19:33:19 UTC 
When starting LO Writer, I get the following console message:

warn:vcl.gdi:4695:4695:vcl/source/font/fontcharmap.cxx:223: Format 4 char should not be 0xFFFF

Not sure what that means. Note I haven't opened any files at this point.

Comment 2 Dieter 2021-12-30 13:31:19 UTC 
Eyal, thank you for reporting the bug. Some questions (might be valid also for bug 146230 and bug 146231):
1. Does it happen only with writer or also with other components?
2. Do you start Writer from LO Startcenter or directly?
3. Does it still happen in most recent master?
=> NEEDINFO

Also with other components: Calc.

> 2. Do you start Writer from LO Startcenter or directly?

Directly from the command line. But actually, if I start the startcenter - I also get this warning!

I'm not seeing it. Checked with

libogtk3 2>&1 | tee libo_console.txt

GDI would be Windows-related stuff, so it's weird that it would appear on Linux. Anyway, they are just warnings.

Do you still see it?

Arch Linux 64-bit

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED, if the problem persists. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.
Comment 6 Eyal Rozenberg 2022-11-28 20:37:58 UTC 
No longer seeing this with a recent nightly.
Comment 7 Mike Kaganski 2022-11-30 06:38:01 UTC 
Note that "no longer seeing this with a recent nightly" means WORKSFORME (= the problem existed, but was fixed later, by unknown commit), not INVALID (= an improper issue: e.g., claiming what doesn't happen actually, or spam, or the like).
Comment 8 Mike Kaganski 2022-11-30 07:06:50 UTC 
Fixed by Khaled in commit 8597aed8a8576ad0f6efe139ff03556217b01b31; the code was removed in the next commit b59d13a7835b18f4676c3a11e9d70dfa9cb934b5.
