Bug ID: 164289
Summary: Wishlist: support OTF math fonts for equations
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.8.3.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Formula Editor
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Looks like currently, libreoffice supports the formatting of mathematical
expression by means of an equation editor that is based on "regular" fonts.
Recently, OTF fonts including a "math" table have been introduced to improve
the typesetting of mathematical expressions. They are used in Microsoft
products (typically deploying Cambria Math as the font), but also LaTeX can
take advantage of them.
Recently a relatively large number of open licensed math fonts has appeared
(e.g. see
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/425098/which-opentype-math-fonts-are-available).
Would be great to see this modern math typesetting technology incorporated in
LibO:
- for better consistency of the math typesetting wrt other tools
- possibly favoring the introduction of "inline" math expressions in impress
(that is badly needed).
