Created attachment 59555 [details] file and screenshots Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP (does not happen in Windows 7) Language: Chinese (complex, also called traditional) OpenOffice 3.4.1 beta on Windows 7: happens LibreOffice 3.5.1 and 3.5.2 on Windows XP: happens LibreOffice 3.5.1 on Windows 7: does not happen Language: Chinese (complex, also called traditional) 1. Create a file with OpenOffice v3.3. Open a table, and change some text to character font "Times New Roman" for both Western and Asian (CJK). 2. Open this file in LibreOffice v3.5.2. Characters which may be rendered in Latin or Chinese, became rendered as Chinese, in the default Chinese font (PMingLiU, 新細明體) instead of the configured Latin font (Times New Roman). In this case a non-ASCII Latin dash (–). This character is available in Latin as well as Chinese. Some part of the file correctly renders it as Times New Roman; some part of the file mistakenly renders it as PMingLiU. 3. This problem is also seen in OpenOffice 3.4 beta. Since this problem does not happen with LibreOffice 3.5.1 on Windows 7, I believe it is a bug which happens only when running on Windows XP. 4. See attachment.
Hello Zhong, I'm sorry, but I don't see any differences on the provided pictures. Could you highlight them?
The font is wrong on the right half of the screenshot for the Latin dash. ________________________________ 寄件者： "bugzilla-daemon@freedesktop.org" <bugzilla-daemon@freedesktop.org> 收件者： lotus7174@kimo.com 寄件日期： 2012/7/13 (週五) 7:35 PM 主旨： [Bug 48362] Writer: Latin font becomes Asian font when opening file created with OOo 3.3.0 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48362 Valek Filippov <frob@gnome.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|UNCONFIRMED |NEEDINFO CC| |frob@gnome.org Ever Confirmed|0 |1 --- Comment #1 from Valek Filippov <frob@gnome.org> 2012-07-13 04:35:17 PDT --- Hello Zhong, I'm sorry, but I don't see any differences on the provided pictures.

Zhong, It works fine here with 3.5.3 on linux. Can you check with newer version on Windows?
This was reported on Windows XP. It also happens on Windows 7. If this is a problem with OpenOffice saving the file, you may move this bug to OpenOffice for "save/export". If this is a potential bug which is observable only on Windows XP, you may have to look into potential problems. Thanks.

What never version on Windows do you suggest? I am no longer using OpenOffice and have not upgraded my OpenOffice since. I have also manually corrected the file after opening it in LibreOffice using Windows 7. And I don't have a way to know whether this is a problem when saving the file from OpenOffice, or loading the file on LibreOffice. So, if you have no other netter with this problem, or you cannot reproduce this problem (or don't have an environment to reproduce this problem) on the version whether this bug was reported, you may resolve it as "version too old to be maintained". Thanks.
Dear Bug Submitter, Please read this message in its entirety before proceeding. Your bug report is being closed as INVALID due to inactivity and a lack of information which is needed in order to accurately reproduce and confirm the problem. We encourage you to retest your bug against the latest release.

Please do not: a) respond via email b) update the version field in the bug or any of the other details on the top section of FDO
Can someone confirm whether the attachment is correct? If the attachment is correct, it means that LibreOffice is opening it wrongly, and I can test a newer version of LibreOffice. If the attachment is wrong, it means that OpenOffice saved it wrongly, and I can test a newer version of OpenOffice. Thanks.
TEST RESULT: If I open the attachment in LibreOffice 3.6.2, the result is still incorrect. So, I am going to try using OpenOffice 3.3 and a newer version to create a file from scratch. Thanks.
I am unable to reproduce this bug just by simple operations using OpenOffice 3.3.0. However, I have noticed that if I do the following: 1. Open blank document. 2. Insert table (2 columns, 1 row). 3. Paste the following "plain text" from Notepad to OpenOffice Writer. Note that these dashes are not Latin hyphens. << / bar separation . half-bar (auxiliary) – no syllable or deleted syllable +syllable inserted syllable ~ one syllable with two notes –– pause = ↑ ↓ pitch of next note compared with previous >> 4. OpenOffice 3.3.0 results in the dashes being converted to a Chinese font, while OpenOffice 3.4.1 kept the Latin font as Times New Roman. So, I am suspecting that this bug may be a side effect of font handling in Unicode in OpenOffice 3.3.0, and neither OpenOffice 3.4.1 nor LibreOffice 3.6.2 does not seem to have this problem. I am now closing this case. By the way, I am still a LibreOffice, not OpenOffice user, nowadays. Thanks.
Thanks for all that info - marking as WFM as you say it seems solved in 3.6 :-D
