Description: WordPerfect 4.2 documents with extended characters (non-USASCII) display the wrong characters in LibreOffice. The correct characters appear when the documents are opened in WordPerfect for Windows. The libwpd import filter includes a conversaion table for WP4.2 extended characters, but doesn't seem to use it. Sample file (will be attached after filing the report) https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/91jqfwdtw1akouxhw7d6k/EXTENDED.WPD?rlkey=hhaioasc48ycd1of2hm3cstiu&dl=0 Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open the linked file.

And, to say what is obvious, the WP4.2 character table is in the file libwpd_internal.cpp in the libwpd code. It seems to be correct, though I haven't checked it thoroughly. It seems not to be used, however, during import.
Confirm with Version: 24.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 71c28942fbc7f36e5bcd46c5a6cdfbb3fcbcd6a0 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.2; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: cs-CZ (cs_CZ.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded and Version 4.1.0.0.alpha0+ (Build ID: efca6f15609322f62a35619619a6d5fe5c9bd5a)
