Thank you, Tom. On the Linux version of OOo, one cannot change the
font weight/effect of a single variable in the equation editor. In
fact, all the variables are italic by default.

I am temporarily using "ч" until I find a better solution.

From http://hypertextbook.com/physics/mechanics/velocity/ :

“Speed gets the symbol v (italic) and velocity gets the symbol v (boldface).”

Note that OpenOffice.org (like almost every word processing or desktop publishing program available today) uses Unicode, so all characters available in Unicode are available to you, plus any other non-Unicode characters unique to special symbol fonts. This is true, regardless of your operating system.

A explicitly bold v is Unicode symbol U+1D42F. An explicitly italic v is Unicode symbol U+1D463. See http://unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1D400.pdf . These Unicode bold and italic variants are supposed to be used only for mathemtatical and technical purposes and are not available in most fonts. I suggest using George Douros’ Unicode Symbol font for all your technical work, if possible. It is available at http://users.teilar.gr/~g1951d/ .
