Description Sam 2012-04-21 03:16:15 UTC
Same issue reported here: https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=111292

It seems like the headless mode does not know how to properly auto-substitute fonts. If you create a docx document with Chinese characters and use a font like Arial Unicode MS (a font that does not exist on my Linux system). Headless mode will churn out a PDF with square blocks.

But, if I open the document in GUI mode, the program knows how to substitute the unknown font for something that exist in my system.

This also applies for Japanese. And I suspect this affects all East Asian languages.

We are also affected by this bug with Libreoffice 3.5.3 on Linux.
