Could some developer close it as NOTABUG? (In reply to comment #3) > Could some developer close it as NOTABUG? It's not a bug? For what? hmm... seems to work here, all LO 3.5/3.6/4.0/master versions i've tried (incl. 4.0.0.0.beta1) show a chinese glyph for the bugdoc, though obviously from a different font than in the screenshot. i wonder, is this because i'm using a "newer" version of the font in the document? (testing on Fedora 17) i don't know how to check if there is indeed some fallback going on here; probably only Caolan can debug this... All respected contributor, I find that if we close a document using the windows upper right corners cross button (even after saving it), during re opening the LibreOffice it starts the recovery process! But if we close the document from menu, then this problem does not happen. I believe rectifying this would help millions of user around the world. Even in OO 2.0 I also found this problem. Since I am new to this bug reporting area I might have posted it to wrong place. Apologies for inconveniences. Thank you, Ferdous caolanm->minhsien0330: This "works for me" with those fonts installed. So presumably its because I have additional fonts installed which fontconfig suggests as better replacements. So in order for me to attempt to reproduce this bug I need to a) get the full list of fonts you have installed so that I can synchronize my installed fonts with your installed fonts. fc-list -v > /tmp/fontlist.txt and attach /tmp/fontlist.txt here b) get the output of "locale -a" because that can affect the suggested fallback font too. caolanm@fk: Open a new bug for your different problem which is unrelated to this issue.

font list
Dear Caolán McNamara:
The fontlist.txt is attached here.
And the result of "locale -a" is:
C
C.UTF-8
en_US.utf8
POSIX
zh_TW.utf8
Thanks a lot!

font list (new)
Sorry,
I added and removed some fonts, so I generate a new font list here.
Thanks a lot~
The word processor should not substitute arbitrary fonts for documents and display random glyphs with them. caolanm->urmas; There's nothing arbitrary about it, if a font is missing or cannot render a requested glyph we request a suitable replacement from fontconfig. Obviously the result depends on the input font, requested glyph and available installed fonts. surrogate pair seems to be getting chopped up Caolan McNamara committed a patch related to this issue.
