Created attachment 40913 [details] Problematic file Please see attached file. On Microsoft Excel 2008, second column correctly displays as “Prénom”. On LibreOffice 3.3.0.1 (MacOS X) it is displayed as “PrŽnom”. The problem is also present with OpenOffice.org Calc 3.1.1 on Linux (CentOS 5).
I can confirm that this doesn't display correctly in LibO 3.3 beta2, however, isn't this a problem with encoding in MacOffice Excel 2008 ? I seem to recall that I often had problems with the character encodings from Office 2008 for Mac, when trying to open files on other platforms, including Windows. Alex
Confirmed, but.... Why does MS Excel Mac version still use code page? The Windows version has long switched to unicode after Excel 97. Excel 95 was the last version to use code page in the default file format on Windows...

There's clearly present CODEPAGE 10000 record. I believe it should override what "Arial" or "Calibri" codepages (1252) is. lijpbasin, do not hijack other bug reports, please.
