Created attachment 121233 [details]
writer file with screen picture of how the = sign looks like when you write  it with "objet  formule"

I just updated my libreoffice version to Version: 4.4.6.3 and some characters from mathematic equations don't show as they used to. I tried to edit for exemple the equal sign "=" with "object formula" and it shows like what the attachment document shows...
Other signs don't show properly either.

Believe this is an OS font issue with Windows 8, 8.1 and 10--which OS are you working with?

1. Open Tools -> Options -> Fonts

2. check the box "Apply replacement table"

3. use the drop down menus to select "Open Symbol" on the left, and "Cambria Math" on the right, and click the green check mark button.

4. do the same with drop down menus to select "Segoe UI Symbol" on the left, and "Cambria Math" on the right, and click the green check mark button.

5. restart LibreOffice

Are formulas created with the Math formula editor correct?

OS is windows 8.1

I couldn't perform the item 3 of your set of instructions. The "open symbol" doesn't show on the left list. I used instead "symbol" but it doesn't correct the problem.

The fourth instruction made the = sign look like a clock now....

Hi chaland,

Your document shows that OpenSymbol font is missing on your computer and wasn't installed by LO 4.4.6.3. Wingdings font is used instead of OpenSymbol.
See Bug 76239 - OpenSymbol font is not retained after an upgrade.
The best to do is to uninstall and install again this version, like in
Bug 95289 - The display of mathematical formulae is erroneous in LibreOffice Writer documents.

Thank you to confirm if this solve this issue.
