--- Comment #8 from robert at prino.org ---
1) Start Writer
2) Ctrl-O
3) Select days.h-c (or whatever you want to rename it to)
4) Click on "All files(*.*)" and select "Text - Choose encoding (*.txt)
5) Click Open
6) Select Character set: Western Europe (DOS/OS2-437/US)
7) Use Liberation Mono as default font
8) Language here is English (UK)
9) Select CR & LF
10) Click OK

Result pretty horrible to see, but that's OK:

11) Format > Page
12) Select A4
13) Select Landscape
14) Set all margins to 1cm
15) OK

It's getting better

16) Ctrl-A
17) Change Font size top 6 (and this flucking scrolls the document to page 13,
WHY, WHY, WHY?

And sito-presto, the document shows as it should show. 12 pages, four columns
per page, and one final blank page.

18) Ctrl-A
19) Change to font to Courier New

And other than that some vertical bars seem to display (and display only)
unaligned on sub-100% zoom levels, the document is still OK.

20) Ctrl-A
21) Change font to Cubiculum (which does not contain box characters)

Bang, kaboom, the vertical bars are substituted by a character that's UTF
encoded as 226/148/130 (decimal), all other box-characters, when selected,
still claim to be Cubiculum

22) Select the very first two box-characters while in "Cubiculum" mode (the
top-left corner and one horizontal bar)
23) Change the font to Courier New

What the flipping 'ell? On ONLY the first displayed line (containing only three
of the four "boxed" table headings) all horizontal box-chars change to Courier
New, EXCEPT the one next to the top-left corner. The top-T chars are left
unchanged.

I don't have a clue as to what is happening, but there is absolutely a problem
with font-substitutions. If there's a way to record (running W7-64) what's
happening, I'm happy to do so!
