I've tried this in the locales of en-US, zh-TW, and zh-CN with fonts-chinese installed and without, and it's working for me :-( so, does it work fine when pasted into gedit ? OOo only takes ttf/afm fonts into consideration for its font and glyph fallback, which makes it somewhat different to gedit and friends which take bitmap fonts into consideration also. So if it works in gedit, then maybe (unlikely) there is no outline font installed which has english glyphs, or something wrong in OOo or the font which has been selected as the fallback font for the english glyphs. Do you have any special chinese fonts installed which are not part of fonts-chinese ?, maybe something is claiming to have english glyphs but doesn't really. Does selecting the text and changing the font to "AR PL ShanHeiSun Uni" or something else change anything
it was working on pre-installed Test machine, but problem found for Fresh installation of Fedora Core (rawhide) in zh_TW language.
Never could reproduce this, looks lovely for me in 2.0.3-7.9. I'd need to get some more information if this still exists, fonts-chinese is surely installed on such an installation, and does it work fine in gedit, any difference in oowriter vs ooimpress, and would launching ooimpress from an en_US locale make a difference ? Is dejavu-lgc-fonts installed, and if not does adding that package make a difference ?
Ran the test by: `LANG=zh_TW.UTF8 ooimpress` without any problem. Works fine with the following packages: openoffice.org-impress-2.0.4-2.1 openoffice.org-xsltfilter-2.0.4-2.1 openoffice.org-calc-2.0.4-2.1 openoffice.org-math-2.0.4-2.1 openoffice.org-core-2.0.4-2.1 openoffice.org-langpack-zh_CN-2.0.4-2.1 openoffice.org-graphicfilter-2.0.4-2.1 openoffice.org-langpack-zh_TW-2.0.4-2.1 openoffice.org-writer-2.0.4-2.1 openoffice.org-draw-2.0.4-2.1 fonts-chinese-3.02-5.fc6 Please check if the locale is zh_TW.UTF-8 instead of other encoding such as zh_TW.big5 etc.
The English chars mixed with zh_TW chars are appearing and showing in the text box created in the ooimpress. Component version tested : openoffice.org-core-2.0.4-2.2 Arch : i386 (rawhide) Additional Info : this has been tested login with other locale and running ooimpress in zh_TW locale. And it works fine. If any other envionment, any wrong output found in future, pls reopen the bug.
