Description micha137 2010-08-16 15:32:23 UTC 
"vec F" does not display the arrow and only shows a box om top of the variable F
in Font "liberation sans"(applies also to other symbols on top).
Worked in OO 3.3.0 m2, no more in m3 and m4.

formula not displayed properly
Comment 2 michael.ruess 2010-08-16 15:50:33 UTC 
Cannot confirm this with m4. Please check if the new OpenSymbol font (version
2.3.9) is correctly installed on your system.
Comment 3 micha137 2010-08-16 16:54:53 UTC 
It happens also with arial, times new roman and any other font I tried so far.
Cannot imagine that all are all of the sudden incorrectly installed. Anyhow -
formulae are properly displayed in m2 on my systems.

Maybe the problem is linux specific. I am working under ubuntu lucid.
Comment 4 eric.bachard 2010-08-17 08:47:35 UTC 
Does it work better using "widevec B" ?  (I always prefer use widevec instead of vec)
Comment 5 micha137 2010-08-18 08:26:25 UTC 
widevec doesn't work either.
Seems to aplly to all symbols on top and all fonts I have tried so far.

Anyhow, a workaround is no option since I have tons of lecture-presentations
containing formulae(for teaching physics).

My "workaround" is to stick to OO3.2 for the time being, till this gets
straightened out.
Comment 6 eric.bachard 2010-08-18 08:38:18 UTC 
Opening your document works correctly on my machine, so maybe you need to install some fonts ? 
(mostly truetype, so including truetype font server too imho )

This reminds me of the symptoms seen when issue 113586 happened: if an older version of 
OpenSymbol (than 2.3.9 which got introduced with issue 105084, issue 105085 and issue 106815) was 
installed system-wide then the corrected unicode codepoints for math symbols such as the vector 
arrow were not available.

The fastest solution would be to remove the system-wide OpenSymbol font. What system are you on? 
WIN, UNX or MAC? If you are on WIN remove it from c:\windows\fonts\
A similiar solution would be to update the system-wide OpenSymbol with the up-to-date version 
shipped with OOo.
The best solution would be if issue 113586 was solved so that the installer took care of such 
conflicting files...
