Created attachment 113199 [details]
A file with Umlauts created in MS Word 2011 for Mac

Documents created by users with MS Word 2011 for Mac OS that have umlauts in them get the umlauts replaced by glyphs
That seems not to be true for documents created by MS Word 2010 for Windows, be it *.docx or *.doc (both get used in our company, not for long I hope)

I am using the viewer on CyanogenMod 10.1.3 on a Glaxy S2 GT-I9100G

Testing on Ubuntu 14.04 + LO 4.4.0.3, I see this line on the 1st page:

Schülerin, die bei Susann im Kurs war, verlässt die Klasse > braucht sie nicht mehr

Testing with Android 4.4.4 + LO Viewer from F-Droid
Version 4.5.0.0.alpha0+/7f68f67 - Added on 2015-02-06

Sch[backwards R]lerin, die bei Susann im Kurs war, verl[big "3"]sst die Klasse > braucht sie nicht mehr

CONFIRMED: Some glyphs are not being rendered correctly.
Status -> NEW

Could you please attach example document(s) from Word 2010? It might be useful to use them for comparison in this instance.

due to size limitations imposed by the appstore, I had to remove some font. This limit doesn't exist anymore, and the file opens fine in my build of the app. Expect a new version in appstore in the next days.

If it still is reproducible, please reopen this bug.
