sample .gnumeric file

I am attaching two file:
1) A gnumeric file containing a brief cyrillic passage.
2) The result of exporting that file to a latex file.
When texing the file one gets:

! Undefined control sequence.
\u-default-1055 #1->\CYRP

Comment 2 Andreas J. Guelzow 2011-12-16 05:37:48 UTC 
Note that inserting the usepackage command:

\usepackage[T2A]{fontenc}

allows  the code to be compiled correctly.

The t2a encoding provides the appropriate russian font encoding support.

I am wondering how to properly solve this. Adding that command would be trivial but would require the appropriate packages to be present. So we don't really want to do that in general...
Comment 3 Andreas J. Guelzow 2011-12-16 20:06:27 UTC 
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.

Note that we are now scanning all strings for their script and write
\usepackage[T2A]{fontenc}
if we see any cyrillic characters. If we determine other encodings needed for other scripts we should modify the check accordingly.
