font display issue for Arial Bold 'É' when font replacemwnt already in use

This bug is really strange. 1. Open the attached document (and leave it open for entirety of test) 2. Create new document File->New->Text Document 3. Insert the character 'É' then right click and select character->Font (Arial) Typeface (Bold) 4. Notice the character changes from 'É' to a special single character that looks like '...' This does not happen if the attached document is not opened at the same time, so it appears something about the document causes some kind of corruption in OpenOffice. I don't know if has any potential security implications since I don't know what the root cause is.
Created attachment 52170 [details] example document causing the issue
MRU->HDU: odd problem... when the attached file is open, and you enter an "E with acute accent" diacritic into a new document, format it with Arial and typeface bold, wrong character "..." will be displayed. Looks like a problem, when the font replacement is already in use.
Which Linux version is this? Is an "Arial" font avaible (please check with the Insert->SpecialChar dialog)?
Ubuntu 7.10 with official OOo 2.4.0~rc5 debs from openoffice.org (not the Ubuntu packages). The problem also happens with the Ubuntu packages but I verified against official packages. And yes 'Arial' appears under Insert->Special Character. And inserting 'É' shows up properly until I change it to Bold. So it only doesn't work when set to Arial Bold and only when the example document is also loaded at the same time.
Now I can reproduce it (on DEV300_m3) if the albw*.ttf fonts from Suse10.2 are in the fontpath somewhere.
Added a dependency on the probably related issue 83370.
changed component
retargeting, OOo3 is too close... unless a patch with a solution shows up.
That is a typical duplicate of issue 83376 => fixed in CWS vcl93 => OOO300_m4 *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 83376 ***
issue 88376 of course
