actual example

Impress is not showing the Unicode characters correctly when it is in fullscreen/run mode.  The Unicode characters shows correctly in edit mode but once you press F5, it gets garbled.

Additionally, there are instances wherein the ASCII range characters disappears in fullscreen/run mode when it is followed by Unicode characters.  In this case, the Unicode characters appears correctly.

See attachment for an actual sample.

First noticed this in LibreOffice beta1 under Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit.
The same thing happens in LibreOffice beta2 under Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook Remix 32-bit.

Confirmed. A few are missing.
Comment 3 Thorsten Behrens (allotropia) 2010-10-27 08:10:16 UTC
Fixed a crash inside the opengl transitions alongside. A race apparently, when trying to dispose textures on a display that was not yet initialized.
Comment 4 lpietsch 2010-11-10 05:35:16 UTC
Sounds like the same issue I reported for OpenOffice.org 3.2 on Ubuntu Linux, see OOo bug 115486, http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=115486
Comment 5 Roman Eisele 2012-05-03 05:53:29 UTC
This is a Impress bug, therefore changed Component accordingly.

And: is this bug still open, or is it fixed now?
Comment 6 Julien Nabet 2012-05-11 22:40:04 UTC
Just to give an update.

On pc Debian x86-64 with 3.5 branch updated today (and brand new LO profile), Unicode doesn't display on first slide in edit or fullscreen mode.
However, everything is ok with slide 5 (which contains the "Peso") in both mode.
Now perhaps it's normal and that i would just need a specific font.

Noticed this on console :
warn:legacy.osl:6402:1:/home/julien/compile-libreoffice/libo_3_5/sw/source/core/text/porlay.cxx:1279: Heavy InitScriptType() confusion

+ several times (about 30 ?) :
warn:legacy.osl:6402:1:/home/julien/compile-libreoffice/libo_3_5/sw/inc/swrect.hxx:308: SVRect() without Width or Height

Sorry guys, cannot currently commit time to this -> freeing the bug for others to pick it up.

Comment 10 vulcain 2014-01-30 11:34:57 UTC
Did you test, if your linux could see this unicode in other programs: web browser on wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tagalog_%28Unicode_block%29 or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miscellaneous_Symbols_And_Pictographs )or text editor??

For example some unicodes could no be seen on Ubuntu 12.04 if you don't install ttf-ancient-fonts
Comment 11 Jean-Baptiste Faure 2014-05-01 20:50:40 UTC
Please, is it possible to have a screencopy for each slide showing what we should see ?

Best regard. JBF

As indicated in these comments the non-displayed characters are codepoints in the Tagalog Unicode block. With installed font support the slides render as expected in both edit and slideshow mode under Debian 7 x86_64 running v4.1.6.2 Build ID: 40ff705089295be5be0aae9b15123f687c05b0a and v4.3.0.2 Build ID: 14ed55896fdfcb93ff437b85c4f3e1923d2b1409. Free Tagalog fonts available here:

I used the Baybayin Lopez one to produce the attached screenshots. I think this can be RESOLVED as NOTABUG.
Comment 13 Owen Genat (retired) 2014-07-16 11:51:45 UTC
As a result of comment 12 status set back to NEW. I will leave for another to confirm and close.
Comment 14 Julien Nabet 2014-07-19 12:43:23 UTC
Caolán/thorsten: Following Owen's comment and since the subject, thought you might be interested in this one.
Comment 15 Caolán McNamara 2014-07-22 10:15:37 UTC
works for me too, might have been a problem with glyph substition in full screen mode vs normal. If anyone still has the problem then attach the output of fc-list -v to this bug before reopening

Comment 26 ⁨خالد حسني⁩ 2023-07-31 00:40:43 UTC
The original issue seems to be long fixed.

The pixelated glyphs come from unifont, if this is the only font installed that supports these characters (or for some reason FontConfig prefers it over other fonts) you will get the bad looking glyphs, but there is no bug here, it is just a and outdated-looking font.

Closing as I don’t think there is anything remaining to fix here.
