Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Problem in PDF export with SMP 1 characters

Hi :)
Yes, it is good to ask the list.  Ideal answers are to find a work-around and/or find out what is 
going wrong and then encourage people to post a bug-report if one is still needed.  Hopefully that 
gives people temporary work-arounds even if they are not perfect.  
Regards from
Tom :)

Hi Tom,

Thank you for the links. I will definitely post a bug-report if it appears
that no one met the problem here.

What I was trying to do via the mailing list was to elucidate first  if it
was really a bug or some misfunction for which a workaround already existed.
I am sceptical if I am alone in the world trying to use SMP1 characters in
LO :) The PDF Export function of LO is a really interesting feature and it's
a pity SMP1 characters are clobbered in the process.

Marc
