Description: Affected are likewise Writer, Calc, Impress and Draw. In LibreOffice documents with UTF-8 Symbols like in the Writer sample file (1) the UTF‑8 symbols are displayed on screen (2). But: • when printed, on paper there are only blanks and no symbols. • when exported to pdf, in the pdf-document there are only blanks and no symbols (3) Steps to Reproduce: Insert UTF-8 symbols into any LibreOffice Document like the sample file (1), e.g. u+1f6b4, u+1f6b6, u+1f4f7, u+1f50b Actual Results: The UTF‑8 symbols are displayed on screen (2). But: • when printed, on paper there are only blanks and no symbols. • when exported to pdf, in the pdf-document there are only blanks and no symbols (3) Expected Results: The UTF-8 symbols should be printed on paper in color and they should be exported to pdf-documents. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: I came across this bug on 2022-08-30. It has been present since in all versions of LibreOffice on Manjaro KDE. My Present Operating System: Kernel: 6.1.31-2-MANJARO arch: x86_64 bits: 64 Desktop: KDE Plasma v: 5.27.5 Distro: Manjaro Linux My Present LibreOffice Version: Version: 7.4.7.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 40(Build:2) CPU threads: 6; OS: Linux 6.1; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb) Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); UI: de-DE 7.4.7-2 Calc: threaded This issue is independent of the printer (Canon TS 6350). Other apps print UTF-8 symbols correctly by the same printer. For plain text files it depends upon the text editor: Mousepad prints UTF-8 symbols correctly, while Kate prints blanks. In Mousepad text editor, UTF-8 symbols are displayed correctly on screen and they are printed correctly. When exported by Mousepad text editor to pdf, the UTF-8 symbols are displayed and printed correctly in the pdf-document (4). By the way: in a version of LibreOffice for windows (tested with a Lexmark printer) there was no such bug; UTF-8 symbols were printed correctly. The issue was confirmed in the German Manjaro forum https://manjaro-forum.de/viewtopic.php?t=4064.

Created attachment 187988 [details] (4) pdf-file generated by Mousepad text editor from a plain text file with UTF-8 symbols For plain text files, as to the UTF-8 symbols it depends upon the text editor: Mousepad prints UTF-8 symbols correctly, while Kate prints blanks.
Please upgrade to 7.5.x, the issue is fixed there. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 121327 ***
I installed LibreOffice Version fresh : 7.5.3.2 (X86_64) on Manjaro KDE. Now the issue with UTF-8 symbols is gone. Thanks a lot.
