RTF saving has issue in saving Latin1 characters

[Chaitanya]

Hi,

In Open Office 3.2 windows version, I observed issue in RTF file.
You may open Open Office writer and copy -paste this string -- šbkeâ}sKeve
(Note - this is not garbage data but meaningful asian word if used with monolingual font - APS-DV-PRAKASH)
Then save the file as RTF and check the RTF code using any notepad application.

It saves the non english characters as unicode values and HEX code in following fashion
For character š - RTF file code shows - \u353\'3f
For character â - RTF code shows - \u226\'3f
Like this for every special character the unicode value is correct but for each such character HEX code is incorrect and that is - \'3f for every special character.

Same string is stored in AbiWord shows proper HEX values-
For character š - RTF file code shows - \u353\'9a
For character â - RTF code shows - \u226\'e2
Which are correct as per wiki link.

This does not give any issue in rendering the string in Open Office writer but if this file is used in other programs which strictly uses HEX values, we hit with issue. (Anyways incorrect HEX values is definitely an issue!)

RTF support in OOo is notoriously bad. You might report this at the developers' mailing list (http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/mailing-lists.html#development-mailing-list) or report a bug ([Tutorial] Reporting bugs or suggestions ).
