Docx reduced to just the WMF in ODT

This is a font handling issue.

The "formula" is a WMF image that is filter imported into Writer canvas with fallback fonts.

Convert the attached to PDF to check the font fall back used in parsing the WMF into Writer canvas.

The ww8 import filter falls back to OpenSymbol and Liberation Serif reading the WMF. While the image import to Draw retains the SymbolMT and TimesNewRomanPSMT

So question might be if the WMF filter for Draw can be used with the ww8 filter for Writer.
Comment 5 V Stuart Foote 2016-12-14 17:20:25 UTC
Happens between 4.4 and 5.1 so suspect it was changes to WinLayout.cxx

Subsequent work on HarfBuzz layout and font handling done for that has improved the font fallback--but using "native" LibreOffice fonts.

Still have different outcomes between filters for import of WMF into Draw (no font fallback) vs opening OOXML into Writer (uses fallback).

So question is where the filter parsing of the WMF diverged.

Filter import of the WMF was already muddled at

And at 5.3.0 we've dropped support for PS Type1 fonts so we now get a different fallback for the embedded Symbol font tat WMF uses.

Note that attachment 129629 [details] has to be used for testing. The minimal example renders the question mark also in older versions.

DOCX import: convert MathType to Math if MathTypeToMath is enabled
With this, math equations created by Word <= 2003 and embedded to docx
files can be edited finally. Previously the result was read-only and
opened in an unexpected new window.

Adding Miklos to CC, although this looks like he did not exactly break anything.

Yes, that just uncovers an existing bug that was previously hidden as the setting was ignored.

Forgot to update keywords accordingly. The bug itself is of course valid, workaround is to disable the mathtype<->math conversion in the settings, and fixing it will also improve the DOC import.
