Not that I'm aware of. Worked for me without issues. When I select
Chemistry SansSerif or Chemistry Serif & start typing, the standard
characters work. When I add any of the added special characters they get

I don't have your distro version installed (OO v3.1.3 running on Debian
testing), but have tested with:

OOo 3.1.1, Ubuntu OOo 3.1.1, and OOo 3.2.0 devm60.

I am using Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty).
