Interesting thing which we should consider for future releases. Issue 80326 is also related to this issue. Someone in issue 39656 stated that DejaVu fonts are also installed by OOO. As a simple user (well, at least I'd like to act like a simple user), what I care more is that my math expressions are shown correctly. I really don't have any interest in the font war (if there is any): choose this font if you want this symbol; choose that font if you want that symbol, etc etc. That's really not fun and inconvenient. Any chance that either: 1. combine all the symbols into one font? or 2. install STIX fonts (if it contains some symbols that neither DejaVu nor OpenSymbol support) and have OOO math support it? There is a JIRA issue requesting clarification about the legal status of the license: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-112 |
