2008-10-30 20:12:45 Chris Cheney openoffice.org: statusexplanation Actually what I thought was wrong with the document (the length of the text) obviously wasn't so I am back to the original point of not being able to see the document at all with the fonts I have installed.

Can you take a look at this bug I can't seem to get it to display at all for me, so something must be wrong with my setup.

2008-10-31 02:26:47 Arne Goetje openoffice.org: statusexplanation Can you take a look at this bug I can't seem to get it to display at all for me, so something must be wrong with my setup. I can confirm this bug with version 2.4.1-11ubuntu2 on Intrepid and also with 2.4.1-11 on Debian Lenny. Horizontal CJK text displays fine, but vertical text is invisible, no matter which CJK font you use. One interesting find: if the font in question contains embedded bitmaps and the selected font size results to use the bitmaps instead of the spline data, then the bitmaps are displayed in the Debian Lenny version, but not in the Intrepid version. As soon as the font size in increased, so that the splines are used to render the font, the text becomes invisible. Fonts, which don't contain embedded bitmaps are always invisible. My guess is, that it's a rendering bug in openoffice.org, but that maybe fontconfig is involved. Maybe it's a miscommunication between the two. I will try to rebuild the openoffice suite locally with different patches removed to see if our fontconfig version has something to do with it. @Chris: if you want to test with CJK fonts, you can install the language-support-fonts-{zh|ja|ko} package(s). That should give you the necessary fonts to test the document.

OK, apparently I can't just deactivate some patches, because there is no debian/patches subdirectory... :( So, it remains guesswork for me. As I said before, my guess would be that it is related to fontconfig in Intrepid, but where exactly the bug is, I don't know.

Marking as triaged since it apparently works in 3.0.0 which will be in Jaunty once it opens.
