[Bug 881390] Re: Incorrect symbols in doc files with MathType formulas

 

yesint, there were 4 bugs noticed in LO:

1) Square brackets represented by boxes (64-bit only). This bug will
focus on this.

2) "r" above "x" in second picture where arrows pointing right should be
above "x"

3) Three "K"s in the fourth picture that replaced "..."

4) Row four with a lowercase phi and a tilde above it is replaced with
some unknown character in LO.

Regarding problems 2-4, your welcome to create one bug per issue and we
can take it from there.

** Description changed:

- When the .doc file containing MathType formulas is opened in LO, some symbols are missed. I noticed missed square brackets and superscript tilda (compare attached file in LO and in MS Word).
- This bug is probably a "remnant" of the bug  #256876.
