Problem description: Consider the attached file of which the link is provided. Open it on Windows 7. The font is not embedded properly to show the emoji or symbols in Unicode 6. Squares or squares with question marks are shown. Steps to reproduce: 1. I am a Debian Linux user. I install the fonts: # aptitude install ttf-ancient-fonts 2. I restart the computer. 3. I start Google Chrome. I go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoji 4. I copy the emoji and symbols. 5. I start LibreOffice Writer. Click on Paste. 6. File -> Properties -> Font -> 7. Embed fonts in the document -> OK 8. Type a space and press Backspace 9. Click on File -> Save 10. Start Microsoft Windows 7. Open the file. 11. Squares or squares with question marks are shown. No emoji or symbols can be found. 12. Link to the file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ea429rd7qznhgum/emoji_and_symbols_test_does_not_embed_font_.odt The file is very large. Another bug report was filed for the "large size" problem by somebody else. Current behavior: Only squares or squares with question marks are shown. No emoji or symbols can be found. Embedding font does not work. Expected behavior: Emoji and symbols should be shown. Embedding font should work. My possible guess: LibreOffice does not support those new Unicode characters. The correct font name is not shown. LibreOffice should detect those characters. The font seems to be Symbola but I cannot be sure of it. Copying /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-ancient-scripts/Symbola605.ttf to Windows does not help to display the emoji and symbols. Thank you for the hard work. Best regards, C. H. D. Bug Reporter Operating System: Debian Version: 4.2.2.1 release
On Windows 7 (with the embedded fonts not installed), it will render correctly if loaded through soffice.exe but will not show correctly when opening it through the start center. On Linux Mint, opening the file crashes with 4.2.4 and 4.2.6, but shows correctly in 3.6.7, 4.0.6, and 4.3 beta, while in 4.1.6 it hangs while loading with the terminal output of "*** glibc detected *** /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin: corrupted double-linked list: 0x0a5f5970 ***".

highest is reserved for MAB only - for now lowering it to high until bibisect is complete
(In reply to comment #4) > highest is reserved for MAB only - for now lowering it to high until > bibisect is complete according the the chart, high is also for MAB. :)
Works fine for me in: Ubuntu 14.04 x64 4.2.4.2 release 4.3 beta1 Marking as WORKSFORME. @webofht - please test with newer release (preferably 4.3 pre-release is possible) and set to UNCONFIRMED again if the bug is still present.
Reopened as Joel tested this on Linux when the issue is for testing on Windows.
*** Bug 80107 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
As joel tested on linux rather than windows.
