Someone has sent me to translate an MS doc containing equations written with MathType. On opening it in Writer the equations often get garbled due, I guess, to the lack of the appropriate fonts required to display them. (If relevant I'm using LibreOffice 4.3.0.2 under Linux Mint 17.) Is it possible to get the fonts?
As a second question, is there any way in which one can edit MathType equations in Writer? I guess the answer is no. As someone who frequently is asked to translate mathematical papers (from Slovak to English) which are written in Word (MS Office rules in this neck of the woods even in academia) I usually have to resort to getting my other laptop out, which has Windows on it as LO simply cannot cope reliably with equations produced in Word. I guess it is almost certainly asking for far too much for compatibility here. Before somebody asks why academics are writing mathematical papers in Word and not in Latex, I guess it's because MS provide the universities with cheap versions of Office and so lock them in, but then I could be wrong.
