Writer file with Mathtype equation OLE embedded
A similar bug was reported long ago (No. 39894) so this may be a regression. I
have posted under that bug but nobody seems to take it seriously, although it
is a very serious bug.
In the attachment there is an OLE object produced with Mathtype
(http://www.dessci.com/en/products/mathtype/). If you use LO5 under English
Windows, no problem. If you use LO5 under Japanese Windows (or English Windows
in which the non-unicode applications use Japanese encode as default), you get
a very weird corruption, where the parentheses are replaced by Chinese
characters. If you use LO4 under Japanese Windows, no problem (see the
screenshots). The same version of Mathtype is rendered differently under LO4 or
LO5 if the OS is in Japanese (or at least the non-unicode applications use
Japanese are default encoding), so the problem cannot be on the Mathtype side
but must be on the LO side. The example is with Writer but the same problem
occurs with Impress.
To replicate the bug you need a Japanese environment: it is thus necessary, I
believe, that a Japanese developer has a look on this.
I cannot upgrade to LO5 because of this bug, I hope somebody will take it
seriously.
