           Summary: headless conversion of some documents have missing
                    Chinese characters
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: LibO 3.4.0 release
          Platform: x86 (IA32)
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Libreoffice
        AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: brandon.m.simmons at gmail.com


Created an attachment (id=47967)

five documents illustrating chinese character conversion issues

$ /opt/libreoffice3.4/program/soffice --version
LibreOffice 3.4  340m1(Build:12)

Conversion from the command line has missing Chinese characters in the
resulting PDF (see below).

Conversion via the GUI with default options makes a good PDF. Copying and
pasting the characters from the original into a new document and converting
from the CLI also makes a good pdf.

Here is a list of the attached files, descriptions and command line used to
generate them:

--------

chinese_problem_public.doc

    Original file exhibiting missing characters in headless 
    converted PDF

chinese_problem_public.copy-pasted.doc

    New document created by copying and pasting text from original
    to new LO document, saving as .doc

chinese_problem_public.gui.pdf

    Good pdf, exported from GUI from original, using default 
    options.

chinese_problem_public.copy-pasted.headless.pdf

    Good pdf, created from copy/pasted doc with:
      $> soffice --headless --convert-to pdf \
         chinese_problem_public.copy-pasted.doc

chinese_problem_public.headless.pdf

    Bad pdf, with missing characters, created as above from original

------

Thanks for any guidance if a workaround is possible.

Sincerely,

p.s. thanks to all the developers working on LibreOffice. It was exciting to
see the improvements to the soffice binary :)
