(Or there are indeed U+F061 and F062 glyphs in the Symbol (or Cambria) font on Windows. Therefore, we just need the same mapping to work on MacOS, too. If the sample file looks right on Windows, there seems to be some mapping from the strange w:char="F061" to the right alpha Glyph. This is correct behaviour if the font used for the text does not contain any glyph associated with this Unicode code point.īut, what is really important: even if I blame MS for doing strange things, there is still a problem in LibreOffice, at least in the MacOS version. Therefore, I'm not surprised about the two ornaments visible in the screenshot: they are just the glyphs associated with U+F061 and U+F062 in some font I have installed (Apple Chancery in my case). And there is just no U+F061 or F062 glyph in the Symbol font installed with MacOS X 10.6.8. MS should not rely on PUA glyphs for important things like formula symbols. Also my copy of the Cambria Italic contain alpha and beta at the correct Unicode indices (I can't test Cambria Regular because it's a. If Microsoft wants an alpha Glyph from the Symbol font, it should just use the Greek Unicode indices, which are correctly U+03B1 and 03B2, at least in my copy of the Symbol font. ![]() If this is a Unicode code point it means that the two symbols alpha and beta are not Greek Unicode letters (would be U+03B1 and 03B2) nor from some math symbols range, but glyphs from the Private Use Area. * The w:font attribute is "Symbol" (not Cambria/Cambria Math as I would expect). I am no DOCX expert, but if I understand Microsoft's horrible file format right I see two interesting points: If I don't miss anything, the problematic DOCX section (from /word/document.xml) is: net/ubuntu/ +source/ libreoffice/ +bug/815983Ĭd ~/Desktop & wget -c -O info.docx & lowriter -nologo info.docx UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release amd64 (20110427.1) When I open this version, the fonts are correctly assigned to Symbol, and the greek letters do show up.
