Unable to change encoding to UTF-8 in Open Office [closed]

Question

I see the following when I look at a document in Finnish

The problem seems to be in encoding. I am not sure which encohing OO uses by default.

I can see the documents in terminal without the encoding problems. I wrote the documents in Vim where the documents are readable.

How can you change OO's encoding to UTF-8?

Answer 1

This issue may not be an encoding problem, but a font issue, the font may not have the characters you need. Try changing the documents font to something basic, like Times New Roman and see if your characters reappear.
