Description I.I. 2014-11-04 09:33:18 UTC
Create a new document in Writer, select the Verdana font, enter the text "AÄaäOÖoöUÜuüsß", save the document as RTF and open it with Microsoft Word 2010. The non-ASCII letters "ÄäÖöÜüß" are not in Verdana but in Liberation Serif (the default font).

Created attachment 108885 [details]
test RTF file

here's such a test file.
I don't have MS Word to test it, however MS WordPad correctly shows the Verdana font.
Comment 2 I.I. 2014-11-04 15:31:23 UTC
Yes, MS WordPad shows the Verdana font in the attachment 108885 [details] correctly but MS Word 2010 shows the non-ASCII characters in Arial.
Comment 3 I.I. 2014-11-04 15:44:36 UTC
Not having Microsoft Word you could use Microsoft Word Viewer:

Open the RTF with MS Word Viewer copy the text and paste it into Writer. You will see different fonts used for ASCII and for non-ASCII characters.

Ok, this way it's reproducible under Win7x64 using LibO 4.3.2.2

I add rtf expert to CC list.

Retested with LibreOffice 5.0.4 on Windows 7. The behavior is the same.

Comment 8 I.I. 2017-04-03 09:08:53 UTC
Not reproducible with LibreOffice 5.3.0.3 and Microsoft Word 2016 on Windows 10.
Comment 9 I.I. 2017-04-03 09:11:01 UTC
Reproducible with LibreOffice 5.0.4 and Microsoft Word 2016 on Windows 10; therefore the bug was not in Microsoft Word but in LibreOffice.
