Description Carlos Sevcik 2011-02-12 05:54:14 UTC
This bug exists in all versions of LibreOffice and wasn't in any OpenOffice of versions equal or inferior to 3.2. Even old documents containing formulas are corrupted when the formulas are opened in LibreOffice. The only Greek letter that shows correctly is varrho. The rest show as empty squares. The problem may be processor dependent since it shows in my home desk computer with a dual core AMD Athlon 3250e, in my netbook with a dual core Atom N270 and does not show in my office workstation with a dual Xeon processor. The problem was reported as existing in LO 3.3.

To users of math in documents this bug renders LO useless.

this looks like the old "I have a old OpenSymbol font installed system-wide" problem. The new LibreOffice (and OOo 3.3 fwiw) need a newer OpenSymbol font
then what was shipped with older versions.

And if that one gets picked up from a system-wide location...

I am not sure this is fixed yet. I'd look for a system-wide install of the
font and rmeove it (or upgrade it/the package it's in)
Comment 2 Carlos Sevcik 2011-02-12 06:34:25 UTC
Do you mean the ttf-opensymbol package? My systems are fully updated, the
current package I have is 1:3.2.1-7ubuntu1.1 I even installed the ming open
symbol package to no use. Completely removing the packages and reinstalling
them once again does not solve the problem. There seems to be no other
ObenSymbol packages in Ubuntu. Has anybody solved this problem at least
locally in his/hers machine?

Downloading and installing the latest ttf-opensymbols package directly from
the Debian repositories (ttf-opensymbol_3.2.1-11+squeeze2_all.deb) doesn't
help either.

Many thanks

Carlos

Please read bug 30729 and bug 32052.

There is the copy of my post form 32052:

~$locate opens___.ttf
/opt/libreoffice/basis3.3/share/fonts/truetype/opens___.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/openoffice/opens___.ttf

I delete the second font and now all works fine.
Comment 4 Carlos Sevcik 2011-02-12 09:52:53 UTC
Yes, it does work. Many thanks.

That's not the latest one, the latest one is 2.4.3 (I fixed the packages not to take the OOo version but the real font version, so that confusingly is "lower" - if you don't take the epoch in account - than 3.2.1

But you sorted it out already, so ok.
Comment 6 Carlos Sevcik 2011-02-12 19:52:48 UTC
OK I downloaded the 2.4.3 dpkg and installed it, and
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/opens___.ttf is in its place and things wirk
greate now, many thanks.
