[Issue 126606] New: RPM distribution of Writer transforms hyphen to soft-hyphen

https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=126606

          Issue ID: 126606
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: RPM distribution of Writer transforms hyphen to
                    soft-hyphen
           Product: Writer
           Version: 4.1.1
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux64
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: save-export
          Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org

Created attachment 85080

Document to be used for the demonstration of the issue.

Hello,

Please see attached simple doc document. Within this document there are just
two lines of text with hyphen (\u002D) showing after the date information. 
While using operation File -> Export as PDF ... on this document in OpenOffice
4.1.1 it seems that RPM version happens to convert hyphen (\u002D) within the
document into soft-hyphen (\u00AD). I am however not sure if this happens upon
loading of the document into OpenOffice or actual export to PDF, because I am
calling this operation remotely via UNO api. I suspect this happens upon
reading/opening the file.

Upon further investigation It has been discovered that various installations of
OO 4.1.1 provide different results of mentioned operation:
- Windows XP is OK, remains \u002D
- Ubuntu 15.04 (DEB version) is OK, remains \u002D
- CentOS 6.6 (RPM version) incorrect, changes to \u00AD

Provided document contains a portion of text copied into blank document from
larger document which was edited multiple times by multiple users by various
Writer and Word versions. I am not able to provide exact steps involved in
creating it.

Managed to figure it out. The CentOS machine, did not have msttcore fonts 
(microsoft true type fonts) installed, while the others had. After free
download and install, all went to expected operation. Document was apparently
using one of those fonts. I do not know how it is related in with the hyphen
issue, but for me it is resolved now. Thank you :)
