Description peschtra 2004-12-30 20:49:08 UTC 
I am running OOo 1.1.4 off of a portable hard drive. I have the drave plugged 
in through the USB port and the program runs fine. The problem I am having is 
that I was editing a formula, and it can't seem to find some of the symbols. 
Specifically it can't find %DELTA or the vector arrow.

I have included a screen shot.

Is this because the the USB drive can't find the correct fonts from the local 
machine? It seems that it can find some of the greek characters, why not all? 
Can I add a directory to one of the paths in options to fix this?

Thanks,
Peter

TL->HDU: Since you are the font expert. Do you have any idea about his one?
Comment 3 hdu@apache.org 2005-01-10 16:12:55 UTC 
Is the OpenSymbol font installed on the machine? (Start->Settings->Control->Fonts)
Is the OpenSymbol font available on the portable hard drive in the OOo directory?
Comment 4 hdu@apache.org 2005-01-13 13:29:22 UTC 
Please see the questions above. Also where is the Opensymbol font file relative
to OOo directory?
Comment 5 peschtra 2005-01-25 02:45:13 UTC 
OpenSymbol is not on the computer I am using. Where should I put it on the
portable drive? Which folder?
Comment 6 Martin Hollmichel 2005-06-24 15:09:11 UTC 
reassign back

In the OOo directory there are folders like share, program, presets etc.
Add a fonts directory to share, add a truetype directory in this fonts directory
and put the OpenSymbol font file there.

Pointer to somewhat related issue 51826. Closing this one.
Comment 9 norbert2 2008-09-17 18:30:39 UTC 
OOo portable should come with opensymbol.ttf, this is  issue 93997.
