Hi Jean-Baptiste,

I found only two ways to fix the problem at the user level :
- remove system font OpenSymbol : needs admin rights
- install the right version of OpenSymbol in ~/.fonts for all OOo
users
I think this not an option to ask the user to modify such thing :/
It seems that OOo is not able to use its own fonts if there is a
version already installed. Am I right ?
I didn't search more than this, but IMHO, there are probably two issues:
- the first one is, probably the order the paths containing fonts are
stored is not the best one (maybe just modify it a bit could help to
solve the issue),
- the second can be : we probably hit the case where two instances of
the same font are loaded, and this could be the cause too, but I'm
unsure.
I remember a similar issue on Mac OS X, with another font. For the
first issue there is more information in psprint/source/helper/
helper.cxx ( psp::getFontPath() gets the subdirs/paths where search
for fonts ). All the defined paths are concatened, and the fonts are
searched inside.
For the second one, I'd suggest you to directly ask Herbert Duerr
( hdu_hh on IRC ) for further information.
I am not sure the problem concerns only Ubuntu. Perhaps MacOS too.
I don't think so. On Mac OS X, we use another way to load fonts
(using Apple Truetype Server), but indeed, I remember an issue about
OpenSymbol long time ago.
I'm sorry I forgot since, but sure Herbert knows :-)
HTH
Kind regards,
Eric
