it would be useful to have the .doc file not just a screenshot.
can you attach it as well?

I correctly see the "x" character in the test document using LibO 4.0.4 and 4.1.0 final releases under Win7 64bit. 

LibO 4.1.1 final is out. try upgrading and see if the issue is still there.

mhhhh.... strange...

try this test: download the portable version from this link
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67386
(you should see the 4.1.0 release in the list)

put it on a USB key and test your .doc file in another PC.

this test is to see if the issue depends on your computer or not.
as said before I do not see any bug on my PC.

Me too with LO 4.1.3.0+ (build at home) under Ubuntu 13.04 with locale FR.

> LibO 4.1.1 final is out. try upgrading and see if the issue is still there.

So set status to NEEDINFO.

LibreOffice 4.1.1 on WinXP SP3 PRO RU x86

Reproduced on other PC with Windows XP, full installation of office.
Comment 9 Jean-Baptiste Faure 2013-12-13 16:54:17 UTC
Hi Ruslan,
in your file, the dagger (x) is in Symbol font, not in Times New Roman.
Are your sure that this font is correctly installed on your systems?

Please, do the following in LibreOffice:
1/ open the file
2/ select the first dagger in "436x170x277" page 10
3/ right click and choose Character in the context menu
4/ in the font tab, you should read "The same font will be used on both your printer and your screen" if the font is found and used by LibreOffice.

Best regards. JBF

@Miklos

is it really this patch related to the current issue report?
I suspect mistyping of the bug number in the committ message
Comment 12 Miklos Vajna 2014-01-12 17:10:04 UTC
It's related in that the if you opened the .doc attachment of this bugreport and saved it as RTF, then LibreOffice crashed, and the above commit fixes that. So no, not a typo.
Comment 13 tommy27 2014-01-13 09:56:01 UTC
ok. sorry sorry the noise
Comment 14 Jean-Baptiste Faure 2014-07-20 12:29:10 UTC
Still works as expected in versions 4.2 and next 4.3.
No answer since more than 6 months, so closing as WorksForMe.
