MRU->TL: it is ok on Windows and Solaris. Only Linux is affected. Having r.g.
"vec a" in Math, the arrow is displayed way too high above the letter.

I hope that there'll be enough votes so as to enable an effort toward the
resolution of this issue

Math depends on having an up-to-date OpenSymbol (containing the arrow at U+20D7). When there is a 
system wide openymbol font installed, then this is preferred. When that symbol font doesn't have what is 
needed there is the problem seen here.

=> get rid of the obsolete OpenSymbol or update it

An up to date version can be obtained here:
http://hg.services.openoffice.org/OOO330/raw-file/a61542f65727/extras/source/truetype/symbol/opens___.ttf

Note: OOO330 and current DEV300 build require the new version of the OpenSymbol
font, whereas older office versions (namely 3.2) need the old version of the font.

Or remove the system wide OpenSymbol so OOo uses the local version.

@ih: when moving the codepoints for glyphs then backwards compatibility should be mandatory. Keep 
references to the moved glyphs at the old codepoints too. At lease for a while, e.g until the next major 
OOo version.

Hello,

I replaced the opensymbol font from 1.21 version to 2.3.9 version in
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/openoffice directory. The bug is still here.

I finally solved the problem. The font have to be installed in both the
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/openoffice and the user's personal directory.

Thanks for your help.

@hdu: I did not MOVE but COPY the glyphs - so there should be a backwards compatibility.

@surbun: If this one is fixed for you, please close the issue.

@surbun: for closing it must set to be resolved first - I am doing it...
