Hi
I've upgraded my Fedora KDE 27 to 29 recently. Now I cannot open
documents, etc. that contains Danish letters.
In Regional->Language settings I have British English set with dansk as
a second choice, because I prefer to have all program menus etc. in
English rather than mixed English and Danish.
In Regional->Format settings I have Danmark set for the region an also
in the Detailed settings everything is set to Danmark for numbers, time,
currency, measurement unit and collation and sorting.
Anytime a file or the path to the file contains æ, ø, å, Æ, Ø or Å
Libreoffice fails to load the document. In the previous version of
Fedora it worked well.
What could be wrong?

I tried what you're doing on an newly installed F29 system and it works OK.
I note that in F27 libreoffice was version 5.4 while in F29 it is now 6.1. It may be a
configuration issue with the version changes of libreoffice, just a guess.
I would create a new user and see if that new user has the same issues.
FWIW, the file I tested with was ~/ååå/å.odt.
Sorry, I'm more familiar with CJK character sets than European. :-)
Oh, in testing my locale was
LANG=da_DK.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="da_DK.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=da_DK.UTF-8
LC_TIME=da_DK.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=da_DK.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=da_DK.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES="da_DK.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="da_DK.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="da_DK.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="da_DK.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="da_DK.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT=da_DK.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION="da_DK.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

On what file system are those files?
File names on GNU/Linux file systems (ext*, xfs, btrfs, …) use the locale
character set for their file names. So, e.g., if you created the files with
a legacy en_GB locale and are now using en_GB.UTF-8, you have a problem.
(Please note, however, that the UTF-8 locales have always been the default
in Fedora, the switch to UTF-8 happened during the Red Hat Linux era.) The
convmv utility can help fix such incorrectly encoded file names.
File names on Windows file systems (vfat, ntfs, exfat, …) use UTF-16 for
their file names. So there is a mount option telling the kernel to which
8-bit character set the file names should be recoded to. This should be set
to UTF-8.

Local filesystems as well as on NFS
KWrite og Calligra Words seems not to have the problem. Therefore it
must be a LibreOffice problem, I guess.
I tried to rename the ~/.config/libreoffice folder but with no success.
On an other login that I only use for testing purposes LiberOffice works
all right.
So in this ancient old home directory LibreOffice may pick up something
from the KDE configuration or the general configuration. I just can't
figure out from where.
