Bug description:
  Binary package hint: openoffice.org

  1) lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 11.04
  Release:	11.04

  2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-calc
  libreoffice-calc:
    Installed: 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5
    Candidate: 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5
    Version table:
   *** 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5 0

       1:3.3.2-1ubuntu4 0

  apt-cache policy gnumeric
  gnumeric:
    Installed: 1.10.13-1ubuntu1
    Candidate: 1.10.13-1ubuntu1
    Version table:
   *** 1.10.13-1ubuntu1 0

  3) What is expected to happen:

  using LibreOffice Calc via the Terminal:
  cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/262777/+attachment/338558/+files/lessons.xls && localc -nologo lessons.xls

  using Gnumeric via the Terminal:
  cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/262777/+attachment/338558/+files/lessons.xls && gnumeric --no-splash lessons.xls

  it displays the Russian characters correctly.

  4) What happens instead is it does not. For example one has
  "Äèñöèïëèíà" instead of "Дисциплина".

  WORKAROUND: Excel 2003 via WINE shows the correct characters.

  Microsoft Office Excel 2003 (11.5612.6505)

  apt-cache policy wine1.3
