[Solved] Add mathematical fonts in Writer

[bartwuytens]

Hello, I use oo 4.1.3 in windows10 on a new computer. I had the same oo4.1.3 under windows 10 on my old computer. On this old computer I disposed of the mathematical fonts 'mathematica1', 'mathematica2',... These fonts are not available in my current open office writer. Can someone explain me how I can add these fonts to my openoffice writer?
If that's not possible I would like to know if someone can advise me another mathematical font and explain me how to install it.
Thank you.

'mathematica1', 'mathematica2',... These fonts are not available in my current open office writer.

Are those fonts installed properly? (Can you use them in an another software?)
Are those fonts True Type fonts or other type?
Are those fonts as newly installed fonts? Try to restart your Openoffice (or the PC) after install the fonts.

In general, fonts are supplied by the operating system; If you have access to the older computer you could copy the fonts and install them in the new computer. Under Windows fonts are installed using Control Panel /Fonts

Fonts aren't added to programs. They are installed in Windows 10 by acquiring the font file, then right-clicking the file and selecting "Install". A Google search for the font should find where to get the font file if it's available.

I do not kwow the type of these fonts and I don't have access to my old computer (it was stolen). I think my problem is to find these fonts on the net. I can't find them via google.

Mathematica is a product of a company called Wolfram; from the similarity of the name I suspect these fonts are commercial, distributed with one of their products. Someone may be able to recommend a similar font for download.

bartwuytens, in this case maybe you have the installer file of that software of the Wolfram on a CD (or on other media) what you buyed for your old computer. And that installer media must be contain the specific font. Check the licence of the software, and istall it on your new computer.

Website of the developer of the Mathmatica fonts.

Font set carefully prepared by André Kuzniarek for Wolfram's Mathematica package. Truetype and type 1 fonts http://luc.devroye.org/fonts-27049.html

I'd guess that these are proprietorial. A quick google found https://mrchasemath.wordpress.com/2013/ ... ft-office/ which may be of some use if you do not, at Tibor suggested, have a CD with the mathematica fonts handy.

Thanks for your help and information. I installed some fonts from the link you suggested and they serve me well.
I can't remember how I laid hands on these mathematica fonts in the past, but it was certainly not by means of a CD or other media, I guess I picked them somewhere from the internet.

I'm glad the link helped. Are there any math fonts from that link you would particularly recommend for other users?

[bartwuytens]

I installed and can recommend Xits-math.
