Description: In the equation editor, in either the LO:Math or LO:Writer, the plus signs are too bold, and skewed horizontally. This makes the plus signs POP out of equations, making them look ... off. Also, I can't un-ital letters. I love having them ital by default, so please keep that. Sometimes in certain areas of physics and engineering (and maybe others) a non-ital variable represents something completely different than an ital variable, and right now I can't display the two different variables in the same equation. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create Equation. 2.Type any variable (letter) & plus sign. 3.Notice how bold the plus sign is, and no un-ital letter option. Actual Results: Found the + sign to be stretched horizontally, and somewhat already bold. Almost no difference compared to an actual bold +. There is no option to un-ital variables. Expected Results: A normal looking + sign. An option to un-ital letters. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes. I also upgraded from 5.1.3 to 5.2.2.2, and used another computer. Additional Info: (It also appears the change method (font <?> { <?> }) doesn't work. But I don't care about this nearly as much about the overly large + and un-italing.)

Please, attach a screenshot for the plus sign. For un-ital, do you mean an option or a command ? You can define the font used for variables in the menu Format > Fonts. Set status to NEEDINFO, please set it back to UNCONFIRMED once requested informations are provided. Best regards. JBF
Created attachment 128502 [details] Couple Sample Equations Showing Plus Sign and Some Missalignment TL:DR - Plus sign takes away focus from equation, Sum function not aligned, need new un-italicizing function to save time. -------------------------------- Vectors and some over variables are often written non-italics. Even though I can change the font and whether all the variables have italics or not (pg 285, user manual), it would be nice to have a command like "utal" to un-italic variables. It's quite tedious to jump back and forth between needing many italic variables and a few between equtions. If I need to write a paper with many (e.g.) vector equations but also equally many non-vector equations, a lot of time is used up bouncing back and forth between menus or italicizing most of the variables. -------------------------------- Regarding the plus sign, notice how it clashes with the bold i and bold j. It takes away from the looks of the equation. It makes it look ... heavy. It's not font dependent. I tried a few fonts like the default Liberation Serif and also Times New Roman. -------------------------------- I threw in a sum equation because I noticed the function is not aligned with the center of the Capital Sigma (like on pg 282, user manual). -------------------------------- Side Comments: 1. hat j is not aligned in italics as well as hat i (little off) and hat k (perfect). 2. It would be nice for a command for aligning equations, like addressed on pg 284 where a matrix is used instead. I do a lot of rearranging so I could really use that functionality. 3. Thank you! :D
If I type your formula, the plus signs are not bolded. If you try the this formula you will see the difference between both plus signs: bold hat u = { 1 over A } left [ { A _ x bold hat i bold + A _ y bold {hat j} + A _ z bold hat k } right ] Bets regards. JBF
Maybe try with a fresh 5.3: it has a new font engine. http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/?C=M;O=A Also, do you use this setting: Tools - Options - LibreOffice - View - Use OpenGL for all rendering? Set to NEEDINFO. Change back to UNCONFIRMED, if the problem persists. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 103740 ***
Variables are adjusted to be non-italic in the Formula Editor Format -> Fonts dialog... Modify -> Variables and uncheck Italic Also, you can retain greek italic lower case by setting Tools -> Options -> Advanced: Expert Configurations dialog and search for GreekCharStyle. Select it and Edit -- set value to 2 from default of 0. Lowercase greek letters will be Italic, uppercase will be regular. The OpenSymbol font adjustments for bug 103740 will resolve the "plus" sign issue.
