[Bug 256876] Re: MathType formulas messed up and not converted in Open Office
Hi all, This problem is easily fixed. It is due to the fact that MathType uses the Symbol font which is not installed by default in Ubuntu. You need to install this font (attached to this comment). To do so, download the font to your home directory, open a console and type: sudo cp symbol.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/[press enter] sudo fc-cache -f -v [press enter] Restart OpenOffice and open a Word document containing MathType and your problem should be solved. ** Attachment added: The Symbol Font http://launchpadlibrarian.net/26654180/symbol.ttf -- MathType formulas messed up and not converted in Open Office https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/256876 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 256876] Re: MathType formulas messed up and not converted in Open Office
In addition to my last comment, you may need to set the correct permissions after installing the font.
