+Hello,
+Actually this method does not fix bug 751. It's just a workaround to
+avoid the bug.
+If you use a font which not includes asian characters, the squares will show up.
+Please refer to the following pic for how I change default asian font:

+I don't know exactly where it hides in ~/.libreoffice, though.
