            Bug ID: 116541
           Summary: Decimal font size with comma (12,0pt) in French
                    changes to font 10 times bigger (120pt)
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.4.5.1 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
Not sure if this is a real bug or not, so please bear with me. 
I'm generating an .odt file in another program. It writes style info to the
styles.xml file with font size printed as %.1f, thus, for instance:

<style:text-properties fo:font-size="28,0pt" fo:font-weight="bold"
style:font-size-asian="28,0pt" style:font-weight-asian="bold"
style:font-size-complex="28,0pt" style:font-weight-complex="bold"/>

Notice 28,0pt three times. If I open this in Loffice writer, it blows the font
up to 280pt. Like it ignores the comma. The comma is generated by printing
library as it observes the French locale.

To test this, I generated a small writer file from Loffice run in French mode,
put in some text at 28pt, saved it, unzipped the .odt, changed the font from
28pt to 28,0pt, and rezipped the .odt file (zip -r). Loffice claims that the
file is corrupted when I load it. So, I permit the repair, and then you can see
the fonts go from 28,0 point up to 280pt. 

Caveat: I am unsure why the re-zipped file is corrupted, since the only change
I made was to the font specification. I'm probably doing something wrong there.
But the substance of the "bug" remains.

I can probably fix my problem by not using fractional point sizes, but I didn't
want to limit my program that way if Loffice can handle them and I just don't
know how yet.

I am running Loffice on Ubuntu 17.10, under this env:

export LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8
export LANGUAGE=fr_FR:fr
loffice


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open file attached to this bug report (test6revised.odt)
2. Repair it.
3. Note that font is 280pt, but styles.xml in the .odt says 28,0pt


Actual Results:  
.odt styles.xml is parsed so that 28,0pt becomes 280pt.

Expected Results:
Expect the xml to be "obeyed" so that 28,0pt results in 28.0pt size font.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Note that in steps to reproduce, when running Loffice in the French env, it
just says that the file has an error in it and won't offer to repair. I have to
repair it in Loffice running in the English environment.
