Try the new file attached.. The accents of the second line appears good?

Yes. What did you do?

I tested these files in Writer 79 - Fedora 16 and I see the first line with the wrong characters and the second one is correct :)

I need more information about this issue.

Lionel, can you tell me step-by-step how to reproduce this problem?

Take a look what I did (XO 1.5 os10):

1. Switch my XO to French (France) - from "My settings"
2. Open Write
3. Write:

   c’est l’été à noël de ce côté ci de l’hémisphère
   

4. Export your job in all the available formats (rtf, html, txt, pdf)
5. Close Write
6. Open Write again from the Home view

I see the characters properly

1. Close Write
2. Open one of the exported files from the Journal

I see the characters properly on all the formats.

Here what I've done (XO 1.5 - 883 - Sugar 0.94.1 - Write 77)

1) Switch XO to French (France) - from "My settings"
2) Open Write
3) Write:

c’est l’été à noël de ce côté ci de l’hémisphère

4) Close Write (giving a new name on the Journal)
5) Open Write again from the Home view

Characters are wrong

No more luck on this configuration.

Seems like the sensible thing to do.

I test this again on XO 1.75 os13 using DejaVu LGC Sans and it worked properly. So, should change the default font to this one?
