See page: http://www.fingertipsoft.com/ref/ce/cp1250.html

accented D - character 207 on the page is impossible to be entered.

Comment 3 Rainer Bielefeld 2005-12-08 06:11:42 UTC 
I checked with “2.0 German version WIN XP: [680m3(Build8968)]†and was not able
to reproduce that problem.

@dusoft:
Pls. contirbute some more details:
- What LINUX-distribution do your use?
- What OOo-"langeage pack" do you use?
- How exactly did you try to insert those characters 
  (Menu: "Insert - Special Character")?
- Problem for all fons?
Comment 4 dusoft 2005-12-11 14:40:40 UTC 
Well, I am using Slackware 10.2 with KDE as X windows manager.

Problem disappeared when locale is properly set. Please, note that OO should
maybe introduce its own handling of accented chaarcters not depending on windows
manager.

I was able to enter accented D in Firefox even before locale was set.

OOo already implemented locale-fallback but unfortunately this fails on some
broken systems...
