Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 6086
Excel 2000 document with Cyrillic characters not displayed properly
Last modified: 2002-11-28 10:29:18 UTC
I tried to open a XLS file made with Excel 2000. It contains Cyrillic characters. The Calc displayed that document with ISO-8859-1 (Latin1) character set. Setting the language of the document (Tools|Options|Language Settings|Languages|Default languages for documents)to "Bulgarian" or "Russian" or "Serbian (Cyrillic)" doesn't help.
DL->Milen: Could you please provide the bug document?
Created attachment 2082 [details] Excel Document containing some Cyrillic characters
Any questions about the attachment?
I'm new to IssueZilla (or whatever name is called this issue tracking system) so this choice seems very reasonable. And by the way no action has been taken on this issue since July.
DL->PJ: Could you please takeover and check the attachment?
Reassigned to OC.
Sorry Dieter, I really should switch on my brain while assigning to default owner. Peter
OpenOffice.org does not have a font which supports cyrillic characters. If there is such a font on the system you have two possibilities: 1. Select all (ctrl-a) and change the font to the cyrillic font 2. Use the font replacement feature (Tools-Options-OpenOffice.org- Fonts) and replace the used none available font with a font on your system.
