Bug ID: 101889
Summary: Using OpenSymbol font with proper codepage in Linux
Product: LibreOffice
Version: Inherited From OOo
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: filters and storage
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: ba...@caesar.elte.hu
Mike Kaganski pointed out in bug 99402 that the symbol font handling in Linux
wasn't done properly in the first place:
"The Symbol font that is shipped with Windows (and is used in WMFs) has Symbol
charset (see https://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/font.aspx?FMID=1650).
OpenSymbol, on the other side, only has 1252 Latin-1 charset in it.
Fixing the original Linux problem by forcing Win1252 codepage everywhere seems
to work, even under Windows (at least my Win10 shows it well; seems that
Windows somehow makes internal recoding here). But I'm not sure if that's a
correct solution. IMO, more correct solution would be adding the Symbol charset
to OpenSymbol font itself."
(see full comment at [1])
Currently empty rectangles are displayed instead of brackets in mathtype
formulas.
Example:
"Under Linux, after the regression is fixed, the attacment 124514 from comment
0 shows two problems: one with brackets, and another one with "h" with stroke
in second line in h^2/2m. Both problems are caused by absent fonts: brackets -
from Symbol; stroked h - from MT Extra. Symbol font is mapped to OpenSymbol
under Linux. (I only mention MT Extra here for completeness/reference; it's out
of scope here.)"
(also from [1], attachment is [2])
Setting to NEW, as this is a confirmed issue.
Behavior can be fully seen with 5.3 master builds that include this commit (but
some brackets were already wrong before the regression in bug 99402 was
introduced):
