Works as designed.
If you have a look a "Tools/Catalog" select the large Omega and press "Edit" you
will notice that the character already looks to be italic whereas the typeface
listbox says it is not yet italic.
The problem here is that the Greek characters in the private-use-area were
imported to the StarSymbol/OpenSymbol font exactly as they were designed in the
old StarMath font. And there they happened to already have an italic layout in
the non-italic font.
Thus nitalic won't work since the font is already not-italic and using italic
will make the character even more italic since it's layout already was italic.
Please compare to the big Alpha (that is by the way not from the OpenSymbol font
also as it was when old StarMath font was in use).
You can consider this a bug and I won't argue much against it. But at that time
it was explicitly done that way in order to keep compatibily (even visual one)
to ols StarOffice 5.2. Well, that was probably not a real good choice but can't
be helped now.
But I have a work around:
You can redefine the Greek characters to use other code-points.
That is if you have still the big Omega in the Edit dialog displayed change the
"subset" to "Basic Greek" and select the Omega from there. Here it is a plain
regular one and everything will work as you expect.
Of cousre you need to do this for all Greek characters.
Since it works as it should I'll set this one to "won't fix". If you feel bad
about this please submit a new issue requesting that the Greek symbols in use
should use the regular code points by default, which of course would have been a
good idea in the first place.
