Created attachment 189437 [details] sample .docx document with greek letters Hello everyone. (I suppose this report is a Document Liberation Project bug ; sorry if this is wrong. I dunno to which component it should be attached) When you import a MSword .docx document that has equations that use the MathType format, all the symbols, e.g. greek letters, are lost. Tested on MacOS only (.docs documents created on the mac), but probably windows-related also. Bug occurs with LibreOffice or LibreOffice-online, no matter the version (tested 4.X and 7.X). I suspect an origin : - MathType format encode symbols using a 'standard' character but tagged with a specific font, typically "Symbol". E.g : in MathType the greek letter Phi is poly encoded with a simple 'p', but with Symbol font - in OpenOffice equation, a symbol is a marked-up character, e.g. %phi - when converting MathType to OpenOffice, the converted probably ignores the MathType fonts employed A (wrong) solution consists in changing the font in the equation in openOffice once the document has been loaded. This redisplays the symbols (e.g. greek characters). Hourra ! ... but it also turns all the original english characters into Greek :) Thanks for attention, Cheer up !
Opening the Math object, I see that the greek letters are enclosed with quotes. For instance: size 12{"p==" ital "the"_ ital "greek"_ ital "letter"_ ital "pi"} {} # If we change "pi" for %pi it works. I guess this is an import error, failing to recognize that "pi" and "phi" are greek characters.
