Most documents I can successfully open and read. This is one I cannot read, so I want to report it. The file is /home/tiemann/DevProc.doc (how do I attach?). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openoffice.org-1.1.0-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open this doc using OO 1.1 under taroon 2. 3. Additional info: How do I attach a document to bugzilla?
This is against OOo 1.1? wouldn't this be a bug against Fedora then?
Well, I installed OO 1.1 on Taroon. If this would be more appropriately filed against Fedora, file it that way.
Is the default font for this document Times New Roman? If so I've seen this with another doc as well and changing the font fixes that. So its a remapping/substitution issue that I'll have to look into. Its going to be messy though. As a side note I've got successful builds here for 1.1.0-x on Taroon and would like to get them out.
Yes, Times New Roman, but not trivial to change font (I tried). The font change appears to have no effect. The font color is somehow Red, but the font color change button doesn't work. When I do "Format->Character" I can apply color and background changes (but still don't see the characters), but I cannot affect color or background from the buttons in the tool panel.
Michael, can you try to make a New document, switch the font to Times, and then type something? If I do that here, all the kerning and stuff is correct, but the text is still white. So it looks like there's some bad handling iwth the Times font. AFAIK OOo will remap Times New Roman to Times anyway, but Times being blank is the real problem or at least closely related. This is a big issue...
Please test this issue in 1.1.0-5.1 or later. It should be fixed there.
I confirm that 1.1.0-5.1 works as expected on the document I attached. Thanks!
