    • Type: Bug
    • Resolution: Not a bug
    • Priority: Medium
    • None
    • Affects Version/s: 5.4.7, 5.5.4, 5.7
    • Component/s: None
    • Environment:

      Confluence 5.4/5.5/5.7 on CentOS 6.4

      In general, Java application including Confluence needs addtional font files to display the multibyte characters on its GUI. For example, to display Japanese characters in ppt file with Viewfile macro on Confluence/Linux, we have to install Japanese font files (msgothic, msmincho, ipa) into "JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/fonts/fallback/" .

      But even deploying Japanese font files into "JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/fonts/fallback/" which Confluence uses, viewfile macro can't display the Japanses characteres in TextBox of Word (doc/docx).
      (ASCII characters which is included in same fonts tyoe are displayed as expected in TextBox correctly)

      It seems there are something wrong in Confluence libraries.
