1) Make sure your computer has traditional Chinese font installed. 2) Open the attached ods file. 3) Observe that for the 2nd and 3rd cells, the Chinese char in them are displayed fine in the cells, but it will appear as a box in the axis labels and the chart title. Note that it only happens on specific Chinese characters. For example, the one in the 1st cell is displayed just fine in the chart. This problem does NOT occur on my Windows 2000 Traditional Chinese edition. It occurs on my Windows 2003 Server (English edition with Chinese fonts installed).
Created attachment 54579 [details] the file showing the problem
Created attachment 54580 [details] A screenshot showing the correct display in Windows 2000 Professional (Chinese Edition)

Setting the font for the labels to a Chinese font has no impact.
@freemant: pls check it again with the current e.g. >m9 OOo 3.0 Version. That includes the cws chart23 include issue 86579; issue 82456 and issue 85934. This issues deals with specific asian font problems. I think that include your problem. Thx kla
Thanks for handling the issue. I've tried the latest 3.0 snapshot, but unfortunately the bug is still there.
@IHA: any idea?
Just for you information, It displays well in windowsXP
It could be because you have some fonts on your system (eg, those from MS Office)?
It runs well in DEV300_m28_WinXP.
SBA: This issue has a target set but is still in state of "Unconfirmed". Please re-check with OOo 3.0 or younger if it is (still) valid. Then confirm it or set an appropriate resolution. Thank you.
no response, not reproducible on other systems. I'm very certain that this is just a font problem. That glyph (U+5920) is not included in many fonts. And while the 2k3 one has the character in a "serif" font, it is lacking from the "sans-serif" one.
feel free to reopen this issue if you still experience the problem and can exclude a font-problem. To check what fonts are actually used by OOo, it is easiest to export to PDF and then go to the Fonts-Dialog in the PDF-properties in the pdf-viewer. Then check with a suitable character map whether the used fonts contain the character at all. closing for now.
