[users] Imported equation display problem

[Marc Trachy]

When I open a Microsoft Word document with equations in OpenOffice.org, 
many of the symbols in the equations are not displaying.  They print ok, 
and can be exported, but not seen in Writer (though Writer does leave a 
space for them as if they were there). If I double click on the 
equation, OpenOffice brings up a window with the whole equation in it 
(does that window have a name? I can't find a name for it).  Also the 
symbols missing are always the same ones: equal, proportional, plus and 
minus, and (it seems) all Greek letters.  In my searches I found 
examples of similar experiences except that zooming in fixed it for 
those people.  In my case zooming does not help.  I'm running on a Linux 
 (Linux from scratch) computer.  I also have the most recent video 
driver for my chip.  It occurs to me that this could be a font issue, 
since (if I remember correctly) proportional and the Greek letters 
usually come from the symbol font (and maybe the others that aren't 
displaying could have?).  If it is a font problem, I'm not sure how to 
go about solving it since I cannot get at the characters in the 
equations to change them.  At this point it's more of an annoyance than 
a real problem, but it would be nice to sort out all the same.

Thanks,
Marc
