Comment 5 s-joyemusequna 2012-03-29 05:40:01 UTC
Tested with Word 2007, WordPad, OOo 3.1, LibO 3.3.4, LibO 3.4.5, and LibO 3.5.2 RC1 on Windows Xp and Vista 64.

All programs display the the same error as your image (Attachment 2).

Probably the RTF file is not OK.
Comment 6 Urmas 2012-03-30 00:32:05 UTC
File is indeed very strange, as it doesn't contain anything pointing on language, ANSI codepage or font charsets.

But Microsoft Office and Wordpad open that file correctly as they default to system ANSI codepage, CP1251 in that case.

Comment 8 Vitaliy Lotorev 2012-03-30 08:39:43 UTC
updated libreoffice 3.4.4 to libreoffice 3.4.6.
I've just downloaded the attached RTF-file and opened it in libreoffice 3.4.6 - it opens OK (like in attached pict1)
By the way, my OS is Fedora 14 x86_64.

s-joyemusequna, it seems i got why it opens correctly on my PC but doesn't on yours.

In Writer-Options->Language Settings->Languages I have 'Locale setting'=>Russian and Western=>Russian; once I replace Russian with any other language and reopen rtf-file it will show improper characters (checked in libreoffice 3.4.6).

On my PC both 3.4.6 & 3.5.1 have locale set to Russian.

It seems like regression:
* LO 3.4.x RTF-import filter treated locale set in options and used it in case encoding wasn't specified in rtf-file
* LO 3.5.x RTF-import filter doesn't treat locale settings at all
Comment 9 s-joyemusequna 2012-04-18 09:41:14 UTC
Works with LibO 3.4.5 if the locale is set to russian (File must be reloaded when the local is set to russian to display correctly.)

Doesn't work with LibO 3.5.2 if the locale is set to Russian and the file is reloaded => REGRESSION.
Comment 10 Miklos Vajna 2012-04-20 08:07:02 UTC
OK, I can reproduce the regression, after doing an 'export LC_ALL=ru_RU.utf8'.

Marking as resolved, fixed in master. Will request cherry-pick to -3-5 a bit later.
Comment 13 Aurimas Fišeras 2012-04-21 12:58:58 UTC
What about default text encodings for other languages?
Currently lcl_getDefaultTextEncoding() looks like a hack.
Isn't there some global function in LO that can return MS Code page for any language?

It will be available in LibreOffice 3.5.4.
Comment 15 Miklos Vajna 2012-04-25 04:00:06 UTC
Aurimas,

Sure, it's a hack. Text without encoding info is always a hack. ;-) I'm not aware of such a table, if you are, please feel free to share, the WW8 (.doc) importer could benefit from that as well.
Comment 16 s-joyemusequna 2012-04-25 04:28:36 UTC
I don't know if this is of any use to you (probably Windows specific) - National Language Support (NLS) API Reference (MS Windows):

Comment 17 Mike Kaganski 2012-05-06 05:15:11 UTC
Once I had to implement an RTF parser myself for Outlook mails import. There, I had to convert the MS codepage numbers to charset names. Maybe some Windows-specific function could use something similar here?

This is an excerpt of my patch to Thunderbird importer (http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/mailnews/import/outlook/src/MapiMessage.cpp#410):

  struct CODEPAGE_TO_CHARSET {
    unsigned long cp;
    const char* charset;
  };

  // This table is based on http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd317756(v=VS.85).aspx#1;
  // Please extend as appropriate. The codepage values are sorted ascending.
