it has been a long time that I have a strange problem with LibreOffice Calc: while it can display Japanese characters in the Input line, it replaces them with a rectangular box in the cell itself. I attached a test file and a screenshot to illustrate. Using the same file Gnumeric displays the character correctly. It seems that, in the cells only, LibreOffice is not able to use a replacement font to display Japanese (and probably other CJK) characters. For instance, if in the attached file I change the font from Liberation Sans (or any Latin-oriented font) to a Japanese-oriented font ( *-gothic, *-mincho, etc), then the problem dissapears. Would there be a simple solution to this problem ?
Generaly speaking, Asiatics languages support is broken in LO as for viewing and typing.
Search LO bugtracker with keywords japanese, CJK, Chinese, Hangul, ibus; everything is more or less broken.
I could not reproduce the bug with LO 5.1.0.3, but it seems random according to comments.
