The problem here is not with the doc format it self. It is the same as in issue
107699 where a MathType OLE object are embedded into the document.
In both issues version of MathType used is higher then 3.1 thus even with the
Mathtype <-> Math Load/Save conversions enabled Math is not involved as well.
Thus the problem is with importing the meta file.
The problem when doing that is that MathType is probably making use of the
"symbol" font. According to HDU the symbol font in use with Ubunto is very close
to the symvol font used in Mac OSX. Unfortunately the "symbol" font used in
Windows is quite different!
Therefore if we want to be interoperable with all those OS we need the following
- a heuristic to decide if the Mac or Windows symbol font is in used
- a conversion table between both of the fonts, or even better a conversion
table for both of the fonts to OpenSymbol. In the latter case only
official Unicode code points may be used, this especially means: no use of
the private-use area of Unicode.
These problems are the same as in issue 92011. Thus you may want to wait until
that issue is solved since part of the solution can probably be reused.
TL->SJ: Since this one is about the meta files, can you please take over?
Thanks!
Adding hbrinkm to CC since the problem is related to his remaining issue.
