I can reproduce 50% of this bug: the first character is displayed as a square for me, the rest looks fine. LO 4.4.2.2 & 5.0 master on Windows 7 64 bit.

I highlighted the 0xD0 (Ð) character in both the dialog and Character Map, and it can be seen that a couple of other characters are incorrect as well. However, 0xD3 (Ó) appears correctly for me.

Created attachment 123407 [details] LibreOffice examples with barcode font Free 3of9
Hi, I think that my problem is the same that explains this bug... I have two bar code fonts of Windows (but 39, not 128) that do not work correctly with LibreOffice 5. These fonts work well in LibreOffice 4.4.7 and previous versions (and work well in any word processor that i have tested, even in WordPad...) I have reproduced this error with LibreOffice Calc, Writter, Impress and Draw To test these fonts with new documents (with LibreOffice documents or not) you can write a word (with an readable font) in upercase (or numbers) and write an asterisk before and after the word (example: *HELLO*) then change the font to "Free 3of9" (or "CODIGO 39") and the barcode should be fine... I attach you my two barcode fonts, real examples in LibreOffice format and pdf files to see the results with LibreOffice 4.4.7 and with LibreOffice 5+ of the same examples.
Sorry, my Bug is different that this one... :-O I have to open a new bug report. Best Regards.
Found a clue. There's this setting in Windows 7: Control Panel -> Region and Language -> Administrative tab -> Language for non-Unicode programs: Change system locale... If that is set to English (United States) for example, the font displays correctly. If it's set to Hungarian (Hungary), the first character is shown as square. I bet changing it to Urmas' locale will show the two squares. Setting to new, adjusting earliest version (reproducible in v3.3.0 as well), and OS to Windows.
Seems like either OpenGL rendering turned on, or the new unified text layout (both with OpenGL on and off) fixes the issue. Using 5.3 master build after alpha 1 (2e137e4696e8278c3d56ba8a49a8b255534bd048) / Windows 7. Looks correct: -after SET SAL_USE_COMMON_LAYOUT=1, and UI Render: default / GL. -without common layout enabled, and UI Render: GL. Looks incorrect (has one square with my locale setting, as described in comment 14): -without common layout enabled, and UI Render: default.
Closing as fixed, per comment 15.
