Bug#487948: openoffice.org-writer: writer exporting to .doc: greek characters in eq.s are (almost) lost
Package: openoffice.org-writer
Version: 1:2.4.1-3
Severity: normal
when i save a document containing a formula with greek letters to .doc
format, the greek letters (or more, see later) disappear when opening
the .doc using some sort of word
here i have a very minimal example,
i open a new oowriter document, insert a ole formula object
"sin ( %phi ) = 3 + 4 a"
then i "save as" example.doc, put my saved example.doc on a usb key
and later open using (a) word2004 for mac or (b) word2007 for windows
in (a) i have an equation with a "?" in place of phi, and nothing
that i can do, except erasing the "?" and manually inputing the
"phi" symbol in equation editor
in (b), using a collegue's pc, there are 3 empty boxes displayed
[][][] in place of (phi), but this can be changed in equation
editor selecting the three ??? that appear in place of the empty
boxes and changing the font
as you can see from (b), some information is there (in the word
document's equation, i mean), and some information is missing...

gb
