Test file

There several possible ways to encode characters for use with Symbol font:
1. Use 8-bit ASCII codes: U+0020..U+00FE range (λ = U+006C).
2. Use Unicode codes (λ = U+03BB).
3. Use Unicode private range: U+F020..U+F0FE (λ = U+F06C).

All this methods works fine in Ubuntu 14.10 + LibreOffice 4.3.3.2.
But with Windows 7 SP1 + LibreOffice 4.5.0.0 master @ ee21771d, half of Symbol's ASCII range is rendered as empty rectangles.
I think it's a bug.

Attaching test file and it's screenshots.

Also tested with Ubuntu 14.10 + LibreOffice 4.5.0.0 master @ 07e84cae - works well, same result as with Ubuntu 14.10 + LibreOffice 4.3.3.2

What is the difference between the three lines of text, as they all show as if they are formatted as Symbol 26pt, but line 2 has to be something different than the others.
Comment 7 Urmas 2015-02-02 20:14:36 UTC
Looks similar to #88021. Maybe the Russian locale is to blame?

Changed the UI and locale to russian on Windows 7 and still no luck. Note that changing the locale in Tools > Options doesnt change the locale in the about dialog, so that must be the user's system locale.
