How do I get Hebrew fonts to display for Collabora in WSL Ubuntu?

ℹ️ Support 📄 Collabora

I have some documents with Hebrew and possibly other odd letters that don’t seem to show up in Nextcloud Office documents for me. This is under WSL (Ubuntu 22.04). Do I need to install fonts into Ubuntu? I’m not very familiar with what I need to do.

I’m using “built-in CODE” for Nextcloud Office.

The documents seem to display correctly in LibreOffice running on Windows.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: They seem to show up in presentation mode for the PPTX files, but not in the editing mode, so … Interestingly, it seems like the characters are indeed supported. It’s just not in all conditions. This is probably enough for me to read the documents and share them. However, I’m still not sure what to do with the DOCX files.

FYI, I used the technique I found at the following link for sharing Windows fonts with WSL:

File: /etc/fonts/local.conf

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
    <dir>/mnt/c/Windows/Fonts</dir>
</fontconfig>
