<html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> </head> <body text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> Maybe not the right forum ? but is this new encoding behaviour intentional or a issue ? since 3.6.3 LO no longer shows correctly non-standard-ascii characters with text imported from a database using Windows 1252 encoding(during the import), UTF-8 encoding now works fine but gives problems when exporting to PDF. Older an recent files with text imported with a Windows 1252 encoding give problems when exporting to PDF, Some fonts like Futura Sdt (Opentype) has only the "Latin 1252" code page and do not shows up when opening in a standard PDF viewer an do not print when using a PDF engine. the Adobe Viewers gives the famous error "Can not extract the embedded fond 'FAAAAA+FuturaStdMedium' some characters........" We found this behaviour on Windows XP machines, PDF exported on Windows 7 do not have this problem ? The faulty PDF export is a regression starting from LO 3.6.3 and also present in LO 3.4 beta. ok: Window XP is a ending story, but maybe someone has the same problems with non-Windows machines Greetz Fernand </body> </html>
