Created attachment 65325 [details] Example CDR file LibreOffice 3.6.0.4 (Final) Russian UI/Locale Build-ID: 932b512 on Russian Windows XP Professional SP3 (32bit) Draw opens CDR file (Corel Draw 12 format), but instead of russian we see obscure characters. Changing font does not correct the situation. It is impossible to read text.
As far as I see if font in its name contains "CYR" (for example "Arial CYR"), then we see obscure characters and changing font name does not change situation. If font name is "Arial" then all right
Created attachment 65328 [details] Another example CDR file (with Arial CYR font)
Maybe another victim of "Foobar CYR,ANSI_CHARSET"="Foobar,ANSI_CHARSET" instead of "Foobar,RUSSIAN_CHARSET"?
Both files are version 9, not 12. "Example_12" has "Arial CYR" with properly set encoding, but text uses "Arial" with encoding "0" (ANSI). "Example_13" has "Arial CYR" with encoding set to "0". Fridrich, "Example_13" also has embedded spreadsheet in "ole " chunk.
It is OK to have Arial CYR or Arial CE fonts with charset 0.

(In reply to comment #6) > (In reply to comment #5) > > It is OK to have Arial CYR or Arial CE fonts with charset 0. > > It's OK to handle text with encoding 0 as ANSI. So is this bug confirmed?
As far as I can see from discussion, Valek Filippov confirmed this bug, cause he has the same problem with fonts and made suggestion how to fix problem
> It's OK to handle text with encoding 0 as ANSI. That is a grave error. An interpretation of LOGFONT::lfCharSet member as a 'codepage' of some kind is the Windows 95 idea which wasn't implemented by anybody but Microsoft. In Windows 3.1 for Western market there was no 204 & co. charsets. The codepage for fonts generated by software designed for Windows 3.1 should be done by font-by-font basis.
Works fine for me in LibreOffice Version 4.0.2.1 (Build ID: 7e5467ff8f30d821f4fbf69cb2769163eb64c2c) on Russian Windows XP Professional SP3 (32bit)
Created attachment 76816 [details] .ttf - font "GOST type A", .jpg - how file is opened in Corel Draw File with problems, that might be related Despite the fact that TTF font "GOST type A" is installed in system, and in Corel Draw .cdr is opened in a right way with russian characters, in LibreOffice Draw Version 4.0.2.1 (Build ID: 7e5467ff8f30d821f4fbf69cb2769163eb64c2c) instead of russian we see only obscure characters. Changing font does not correct situation. It is impossible to read text.
Any chance you could help in doing 8-bit encoding -> unicode tables for the specific font. If that is done, I can try to integrate to libcdr, but don't feel like extracting the information form ttf file myself, sorry.
Also, having a CDR file with it would be good. I cannot test easily without it.
Created attachment 76820 [details] cdr file with "Gost type A" TTF Sorry, forgot to attach problem .cdr file
OK, I committed to libcdr git master a partial fix for the GOST Type A font. The problem that is preventing a complete fix is that this font does not correspond to any ICU table. If I assume that it is having encoding 0xcc, it gives reasonable results apart some Greek mathematical characters that are not correctly converted. I would not mind to handle each font with specific conversion table, but I fear that it does not scale well.
The "GOST Type A" font doesn't contain any Greek characters. The only ones special are ∾ instead of ˆ and × instead of •. The former is not encoded anywhere in Cyrillic subset for some reason.

In LibreOffice Version 4.0.3.1 (Build ID: a67943cd4d125208f4ea7fa29439551825cfb39) problem with "GOST Type A" font was fixed (all is in Russian). But file content is shown not correctly (no curves on the left side, some texts are in wrong places, some arrows are shown as simple lines, ...) compared with Example 28.jpg from attachment 76816 [details] (how file is shown in Corel Draw). If there is need, I can create separate bug with all described problems.

Seems that problem with font was fixed (all texts are shown in Russian, no more obscure characters) in LibreOffice 4.4.2.2 Build ID c4c7d32d0d49397cad38d62472b0bc8acff48dd6 Locale ru_RU on Windows XP Professional SP3 (32bit) But as I already reported, file content (Example 28) is shown not correctly (no curves on the left side, some texts are in wrong places, some arrows are shown as simple lines, ...). Try to compare Example 28.cdr with screenshot Example 28.jpg (how it is shown in Corel Draw). If there is a need, I can create a separate bug with all described problems.
