> OpenOffice Writer does not show and convert MathType equations correctly. 
> When the .doc file containing  MathType 5 formulas is opened in OO, all 
> symbols of integrals, derivatives, sums etc. are missed or substituted by 
> funny characters. As a result the formulas are messed up completely. The 
> formulas are not converted to OO Math, but shown as figures (not editable) 
> even if "convert math from/to MathType" option is selected.

> This bug seems to be ubuntu-specific. Original bug sent to OO team was not

> it was confirmed in Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10alpha, but not in Mandriva Spring

> The bug exists even when the deb package provided on the OO.o website is used 
> instead of the ubuntu repos version.
>
> This bug is really critical for people, who exchange documents with formulas 
> with collaborators using MSWord+MathType.
