What's the output of... locale -a I'm betting that its not a UTF-8 locale
sorry, I mean the output of "locale", not "locale -a"
(In reply to comment #2) > sorry, I mean the output of "locale", not "locale -a" locale ======= LANG=en_US.utf8 LC_CTYPE="C" LC_NUMERIC="C" LC_TIME="C" LC_COLLATE="C" LC_MONETARY="C" LC_MESSAGES="C" LC_PAPER="C" LC_NAME="C" LC_ADDRESS="C" LC_TELEPHONE="C" LC_MEASUREMENT="C" LC_IDENTIFICATION="C" LC_ALL=C
I see it with LC_ALL=C ooffice . Also, opening from recent documents doesn't work for such document.
1. unset LC_ALL ooffice shows the titelbar and the document itself correct. 2. This is a standard f14 installation (no tricks) with german keyboard, and in OO, language is set to german (currency set to german/euro). I think, I should remove the line "LC_ALL=C" from my ~/.bashrc

Yeah, "C" is a terribly idea if you have files with non-ascii filenames floating about. Fixing title bar fix is easy, recently-used not quite so trivial
I think, I can live with en empty LC_ALL :-)
Suggested a patch upstream. Won't fix this in Fedora. non-UTF8 locale settings are definitely un-recommended. Something like LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 might get the desired effect without clobbering utf8
LC_ALL=de_DE.utf8 does it too. Thank you.
