--- Comment #11 from Yury <[email protected]> ---
I believe the problem stems from the following:

1) math fonts always include some of the "tall" mathematical operators glyphs,
like U+2211 summation or U+222b integral, arcs' glyphs from Misc. technicals
block at U+2300 etc.; 

2) and such glyphs, not only being "tall" (I believe I've seen sizes of those
doubling the usual ("header") em size of the font) as like as not are
positioned "under" the baseline, either completely or partly; e.g., integral
might span smth. like [+1000..-300] or [+2000..-2000] etc.

3) and such info is summarized in fontconfig cache, I guess;

4) LIBO, if built with fontconfig support, looks into these cache files and
this is where things go wrong - instead of proceeding with the info from font
header (em size and baseline), which also is available there, I believe, LIBO
takes on the extremum dimensions of the font. (And other offices don't!)

I would greatly appreciate somebody looking into this ASAP, as this is quite a
pain. None of the specialised math fonts are usable, how's that for the leading
OSS productivity suite?!
