Description aw-libreoffice 2013-06-20 16:14:48 UTC
I have documents which use fax, telephone and mail symobols from the OpenSymbol font. This work for me over the last years.
When I open these documents with current release of writer the references to OpenSymbol are lost - I see some rectangles which is what the paragraph font has for the given code.
When I manually change the font for the "rectangles" to OpenSymbol I get what I expect.

Something to mention:
The paragraph references helvetica font - I am not sure if I have this font installed.

Example ODTs and PDFs under v3341, v3572, and v4132.

I am attaching some example documents showing the likely symbols used from the OpenSymbol font for fax, telephone, and mail (there is no correct fax symbol). All have been generated under Crunchbang 11 x86_64 running these versions of LO:

- v3.3.4.1 OOO330m19 Build:401 (OpenSymbol v2.4.3)
- v3.5.7.2 Build ID: 3215f89-f603614-ab984f2-7348103-1225a5b (OpenSymbol v102.2)
- v4.1.3.2 Build ID: 70feb7d99726f064edab4605a8ab840c50ec57a (OpenSymbol v102.3)

All symbols display as expected, when the two older files are opened under v4.1.3.2. From the description it sounds like the Helvetica font is somehow being substituted for OpenSymbol (perhaps because the OpenSymbol font cannot be found)?
