Hi!

I've had this same problem with two separate 64bit laptops running Ubuntu 8.10 Intreped Ibex (with all updates from repositories) and Open Office 2.4.1. (openoffice.org-core 1:2.4.1-11ubuntu2.1) during past month (Feb-Mar 2009). In my case the problem occured with Finnish language text written with Arial font. Both small and capital A-umlaut ( ä ) got temporarily corrupted.

Although, reinstalling msttcorefonts did the trick for me, I sincerely concur with the above, that a working office suite must be included in the normal repositories.

Cheers, Jukka

PS: My horror scenario is that the problem reoccurs one day when I'm giving a speech or presentation somewhere....
