Testing with LibreOffice 3.5.3.2 (Build-ID: 235ab8a-3802056-4a8fed3-2d66ea8-e241b80), German langpack installed. If I open the attached sample .docx file, the two mentioned Greek letters alpha and beta are not displayed, but some ornaments are visible instead. This happens even with Microsoft's Cambria + Cambria Math fonts installed. I will attach a screenshot of how the document looks for me.

I am no DOCX expert, but if I understand Microsoft's horrible file format right I see two interesting points: * The w:font attribute is "Symbol" (not Cambria/Cambria Math as I would expect). * The w:char has the value F061. If this is a Unicode code point it means that the two symbols alpha and beta are not Greek Unicode letters (would be U+03B1 and 03B2) nor from some math symbols range, but glyphs from the Private Use Area. This is indeed strange. If Microsoft wants an alpha Glyph from the Symbol font, it should just use the Greek Unicode indices, which are correctly U+03B1 and 03B2, at least in my copy of the Symbol font. Also my copy of the Cambria Italic contain alpha and beta at the correct Unicode indices (I can't test Cambria Regular because it's a .TTC file which FontLab does not open). MS should not rely on PUA glyphs for important things like formula symbols. And there is just no U+F061 or F062 glyph in the Symbol font installed with MacOS X 10.6.8 ... (why should there be one?!). Therefore, I'm not surprised about the two ornaments visible in the screenshot: they are just the glyphs associated with U+F061 and U+F062 in some font I have installed (Apple Chancery in my case). This is correct behaviour if the font used for the text does not contain any glyph associated with this Unicode code point. But, what is really important: even if I blame MS for doing strange things, there is still a problem in LibreOffice, at least in the MacOS version. If the sample file looks right on Windows, there seems to be some mapping from the strange w:char="F061" to the right alpha Glyph. Therefore, we just need the same mapping to work on MacOS, too. (Or there are indeed U+F061 and F062 glyphs in the Symbol (or Cambria) font on Windows. Can someone tell us if this is true? But even if this is true, we need again some mapping of these glyphs on MacOS in order to display them correctly.)
