[Bug 60953] New: Improve Big5 handling for Word 6.0
https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=60953
Bug ID: 60953
Summary: Improve Big5 handling for Word 6.0
Product: POI
Version: 3.16-dev
Hardware: PC
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: HWPF
Assignee: dev@poi.apache.org
Reporter: tallison@mitre.org
Target Milestone: ---

Example bilingual English/Chinese Big5 Word 6.0 file
While working on Bug 50955, I found that MS had their own encoding of Big5,
which included zero padding for ascii characters.
I included some code that ought to be cleaned up.
An example of Big5 used to encode English is already in our set: Bug51944.doc.
Some notes will follow.
I'm also attaching a better bilingual Big5 English/Chinese example from Apache
Tika's Common Crawl corpus.
Many thanks, again, to Common Crawl, Dominik Stadler and Rackspace.

Another example file
This file comes from the same source as the other attachment. It contained a
few 0xf9xx characters that the original file did not.

--- Comment #1 from Tim Allison <ta...@mitre.org> ---
It would also be handy if we could find some Shift-JIS examples.
Word95.doc has a Shift-JIS encoded font, but the text is all single byte
English. Given that we can't map from fonts to text pieces, it isn't clear to
me that this is actually what Shift-JIS looks like or if the English is really
Times New Roman
