The current conversion routines in starmath/ subdir append hard-coded font sizes ("size 12" to normal content, "size 8" to super- and subscripts etc.), regardless of what is set in LibreOffice formula editor's settings. That is, of course, completely wrong approach. This way formulas are, in fact, corrupted. There are many tickets for this issue filed in OOO bugzilla, by the way. One way of correcting this is proposed in a patch attached, pending the implementation of "completely correct" way of exporting font sizes in formulas to .doc (in ole streams attributes). This patch just removes the code which adds "size %d {" and corresponding "}". "Works for me", as now I'm able to export many-formulas document to word's .doc and not have to *edit* each and every of those, if something other than "size 12" is required (I still have to double-click each and every of those to correct the previews, but that's another problem, albeit related).

And, like I said before, this patch is not a real solution, but a kludge, really. As I don't understand the starmath module too well myself, I've just removed ("hacked off") a provision for inserting the "size" tag, which is abused by export to Word Eq. editor AND import from Word Eq. editor routines. Personally, I can live without "size" tag (I'd rather have a global font size(s) changing control/dialog), but the effective corruption of formulas by insertion of "size 12", "size 8" is quite a PITA.

Two files contain an equivalent of "{a123} wideslash {b456}" prepared in Word 2003 eqaution editor. One was composed with font size set to 10pt, another — to 14 pt. Please note that the overall formula's font size in examples isn't actually included into mathtype equation elements, but is put into a position preceding the equation proper. This is deduced from the binary comparison results. Now, the import screens show where things go wrong in the mainstream LibO/OOO: 1) The formula's font size (10pt or 14pt in this case) is lost. The actual formula font size setting is in all cases 11pt (as set as default in local installation; dialog not shown), and so differs with what was actually set in Word file. This is, however, bearable. 2) What's worse, formulas get sprayed with «size 12» and «size 8» (these are arbitrary sizes taken from the array in the starmath/source/mathtype.cxx, in function MathType::Init()), which is completely unacceptable. Just imagine clearing those out in 100 formulas or so. P.S. As a side question, I notice that, e.g., CmathOOO extension is capable of composing the formula «on the run» and inserting it with font size and face taken from paragraph style. How difficult would it be to implement: 1) *optional* setting of font size and face in imported formulas to whatever was set in imported file (say, Times New Roman and 10pt); 2) batch changing of the font faces and sizes of all formulas in LibO/OOO document; optionally, do it like it's done in KDE fonts dialog (adjust face only, or size only, etc.)?

This produces the (unasked for) 'size 12' and 'size 8' on bodytext and indexes formulas' elements. ** I'm attaching the patch for LOdev 4.3.7.1 which blocks (hacks off, really) that (spurious) size setting on import. Ugly, but "worksforme", saves my time. 2bad) Formulas' rendered images' frames are put too high w/r to the baseline of the paragraph formula is in. This necessitates re-rendering (double-clicking+closing) all formulas in the ODT (grand PITA!!) Not *immediately* relevant to this issue is there are errors in the importing code, which converts the syntax of the MathType included in MS Word to the syntax of eqn included in LO.

Frankly, this is quite a fair solution, see also https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90406, but it doesn't seem it can make it into the mainstream.
