Cesar Avila, thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting
documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a
developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as Triaged and let them
handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!

** Description changed:

- I opened a MS Word 97 document (.docx) with libreoffice and all the greek 
letters have disappeared, showing a square instead. When I select this letters, 
I notice that the Symbol font used on the original document has been replaced 
with Times New Roman (the font used by default on the text). 
- I do have installed ttf-opensymbol package, so I do not see the reason for 
this. Indeed, I have opened the document on another machine using OpenOffice 
and save it as ODT. When I open this version, the fonts are correctly assigned 
to Symbol, and the greek letters do show up.
