I've already tried to search through the FAQs and the recent forum topics, with no success: so (and I beg your pardon in case I've missed the right topic and/or the correct FAQ) let me post my little doubt here...
My tiny problem goes as follows: I've recently made an upgrade (both in Linux and in Windows) from OO 2.4.2 to OO 3.0.1. Now, in both systems everything runs as finely as (I presume) it should, except for one thing: under Linux (and only there), every scientific document I had previously written with OO 2.4.2 isn't being correctly reformatted any longer, as for the mathematical symbols and fonts used in the formulas. What's worse, some special symbols (one example for all: 'rightarrow' / 'leftarrow') don't show at all any longer. An easy example is attached under my message. This very issue, on the contrary, doesn't show under Windows, where everything works fine.
Is this an already observed phenomenon, or am I the first who runs into it?
Moreover: am I possibly forgetting some subtle detail, or leaving untouched some advanced option regarding the typography and/or visualization of the fonts, which instead should be modified? Or is it simply a (possible) bug?
I add that I have installed by a
Code: Select all
rpm -ivh --prefix=/opt/openoffice *.rpm
procedure, which has given no problem at all, at least as long as we talk about installation issues and/or system complains (say, about a JRE which is not sufficently up-to-date, about some extension which is missing, and the like). I also add that this very same operation of "importing" math text previously written in an older OO release had been perfectly accomplished when upgrading from OO 1.x to OO 2.3.x (first) and 2.4.x (then).
I really can't understand...
Thank you very much for your help
