Portable OOo: formulas distorted (problem with opensymbol font)
Last modified: 2017-05-20 10:29:22 UTC
Hi. When trying OOo 3 beta 2 in it's portable build, I found that formulas are not displayed correctly. The problem is that opensymbol.ttf is missing. Solution: Include "opensymbol.ttf" to "share/fonts/truetype/" in the OOo portable package. (Please also have a look at issue 39713.)
@ floeff: Who is responsible for the portable OOo?
That's Marko Moeller, putting him in Cc
In OpenOffice.org Portable 3 Beta 2 from http://portableapps.com opensymbol is included (App/OpenOffice.org/share/fonts/truetype/opens____.ttf). like it is in the non portable version. Where did You load Your version?
You are right, there is a file OpenOfficePortableTest\App\OpenOffice.org\Basis 3.0\share\fonts\truetype\opens___.ttf But nevertheless portable OOo seems to not find/use it. Formulas don't display special symbols like the square root symbol. I'm using "OpenOffice_Portable_3_Beta2_en.paf.exe" which has 79,5 MB (83.384.881 Bytes).
Additional info: I'm using it in a folder on my local hard drive D:, not on an USB-Stick.
OpenOffice.org Portable is not designed to use it on the Desktop, cause for this the non portable version should be Your first choise. This usage is not supported / recommended cause there are some problems with long paths and path with spaces in it! If You'll use it on the Desktop, please use a short path without any spaces (like c:\programs\OpenOfficePortable) and all should be fine.
I have shortened my path from D:\Programme\OpenOfficePortableTest\ to D:\Programme\OOop\ and it is still not "fine". :-(
please send me a document for testing to markomlm[at]openoffice.org. I'll check this.
I think a document won't help analyzing the problem. But nevertheless I will attach one.

Verified. The fonts directory is in the wrong subfolder. Will be fixed for the final. Please copy the fonts folder from OpenOffice.org\Basis\Share to openoffice\share. Thank You for the hint!
Yes, this works. Thank you. Should we set a target milestone for this issue?
Target milestone for me is 3.0 final. But at the moment the portable version is not an official built, so we need no milestone here.
Hi markomlm, I just have downloaded http://dfn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/portableapps/OpenOffice_Portable_3.0_de-DE.paf.exe It is NOT fixed there! :-(
Thank You for the hint. Will befixed in the final. Wrong filename for Pre-Release 1 :-(
Confirming issue
Any chance of fixing this issue for 3.1?
Still fixed in 3.0 portable final and in the upcomming 3.0.1 portable final.
Closing.
