------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Nov 20 14:47:27 +0000 2008 ------- I can confirm this behavior too (apart from crashing). I also want to stress that it is more generic than what is described here in that it does not only affect MS Word to Linux-OOWriter import. It also happens if you create for instance a powerpoint .ppt file, a OOWriter .odt, or a OODraw .odg file containing OLE mathype objects in windows: such a document won't display properly some parts of the equations in a linux version of OO (but it's fine in windows OO version). More specifically: upon import, some characters are obviously not recognized and replaced by funny signs (white question mark in a black rhombus for instance). I have tried to figure out what is wrong, and came to the conclusion that, whatever their origin, embedded Mathtype objects (OLE objects) containing characters from the MS "Symbol" font, or the Mathtype "Fences" font are not interpreted correctly when loaded in a linux version of OO (I have tried v. 2.3, 2.4 and 3.0 in several Ubuntu versions and in the Mandriva One live CD). Installing these fonts on the linux system does not solve the problem. If the OLE object are converted to Metafile drawings prior to saving in windows, then the equations are rendered correctly in linux (with the Symbol and Fences fonts installed, I haven't checked without, sorry). I guess this is related to issue #76587 (apart from crashing). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
