2008-09-29 21:18:34 Pablo Castellano openoffice.org: statusexplanation I can confirm it. Some characters are shown as question marks inside of a black square. It can be due a missing font package. I'm attaching a screenshot.

2008-10-17 16:18:45 Sancho Panza description OpenOffice Writer does not show and convert MathType equations correctly. When the .doc file containing MathType 5 formulas is opened in OO, all symbols of integrals, derivatives, sums etc. are missed or substituted by funny characters. As a result the formulas are messed up completely. The formulas are not converted to OO Math, but shown as figures (not editable) even if "convert math from/to MathType" option is selected. This bug seems to be ubuntu-specific. Original bug sent to OO team was not reproduced (http://www.mail-archive.com/allbugs@openoffice.org/msg396313.html). However, it was confirmed in Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10alpha, but not in Mandriva Spring (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=872833). This bug is really critical for people, who exchange documents with formulas with collaborators using MSWord+MathType.
