 |
|
I have a document created in MSWord in Czech. When I open it in Writer, many of the diacritic czech characters are greyed out no matter what font I choose. It is fine when opened in MSWord. What can I do?

When you say 'greyed out' do you mean that you can read them but they are grey or that they have been replaced by something like a grey box?
If it is the second I would think that the person who produced it had a font that you don't have. Any way that you can check with them and see what font they used?

Font seems to be Times New Roman. Regardless if I change the font of this text only document to a standard windows open type font such as Arial, the characters should show. Yes I mean a grey box has replaced these letters.
Also, if it was a font problem, I imagine that problem would also appear in MSWord. |

Can you type or otherwise insert all Czech characters into a Writer document?
If you can, perhaps the text is in a non-Unicode font which looks like Times New Roman. |
