Mode 2 for italic lower case greek symbols has been set as the default, tdf#105483 <https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105483> was resolved for 5.4 with http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=68155a68578a0f4066c1c566c2d378bbae05c216 but the patch to use value 2 by default was rejected for backport to the 5.3 release. Until moving to a 5.4 build, users so inclined can set the "GreekCharStyle" stanza with a simple search/edit in expert configuration. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Input-required-font-selection-in-the-Math-component-tp4214054p4215208.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
