(from commit 344785b 2010-10-03 Bernt Hansen to commit 0901585 2010-10-06 Eric Schulte) My locale is en_IN.utf8, and I am on Fedora 13. I couldn't quite understand the discussion where the bug actually is. To resolve this do I need to file a bug with the Fedora bugzilla? I am confused how can that be possible because I can successfully export to pdf if I downgrade org to commit 344785b. Any suggestions welcome. > cheers, > eric > --=20 Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.
