test DOCX file

When open the attached DOCX file in LibreOffice Writer, the MathType formula is showing messy/Garbage characters.

It works OK when open in Microsoft Word 2013 (on the same computer).

I have a hunch this is related to bug 95902.

Except that I don't have to change 'Language for non-Unicode programs' setting to Japanese (from Hungarian) to get buggy output. It also looks incorrect in a different way to me, see attached screenshot (the above setting could be of influence).

Another difference is that it doesn't look correct in 4.4.0.3, either, though it looks a bit different.

In Linux I see the same black boxes with question marks as in the other report.

Ultimately, confirmed in Windows & Linux, and the issue goes back to LO 3.3 (where the text looks more garbled, but the same characters appear).
