Created attachment 190920 [details] MS Excel 4.0 document with Cyrillic text When I open the old MS Excel 4.0 documents with cyrillic text in Libreoffice , they opened with incorrect encoding (became unreadable). Example is attached. All my Excel documents contain two fonts: 1. Латинский (\x8b\xe0\xf2\xe8\xed\xf1\xea\xe8\xe9) and 2. Прямой Проп (8FF0DFECEEE9208FF0EEEF) 1st font is Serif (like Times) 2nd font is Sans Serif (like Arial) Right inside the binary document I changed the 1st font name to "Times CYR" and 2nd font name to "Arial CYR" (to preserve the length) but it did not work (opened unreadable again). Utilities from https://sourceforge.net/p/libmwaw/wiki/Home/ did not help either. See also https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158225#c12 I tried to understand here (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/office_file_formats/ms-xls/cd03cb5f-ca02-4934-a391-bb674cb8aa06) what should I change inside Excel document, but its too complicated. Is that possible to fix libreoffice calc filter to correctly import old excel documents with at least fonts listed above?
