I just registered to do two things:
First of all, to thank Martin for the great work - your font saved my day a couple of times now!
And second, to add a tiny piece of information i just found out the hard way, that is, by trial and error: It seems like gpu acceleration also plays into this particular issue!
Backstory: i had recently upgraded to a new computer and all of a sudden all my carefully crafted pages full of complex formulae looked ugly, to say the least. I read all i could find about this problem and found Martins fonts, which seemed to solve most problems; yet still there where some issues, especially with square roots and large brackets. But strange enough, those only occured on screen, not on paper, and only with LibreOffice, not OpenOffice. So i looked for different settings in both suites, and found the difference in the "graphics acceleration" settings: OpenOffice had the acceleration disabled completely, LibreOffice had it turned on and OpenGL was activated. Disabling OpenGL finally solved the problem!
This may not occur on all systems, depending on graphics card and driver version, but if you still have problems with formula-rendering, disabling OpenGL might be worth a shot!
Sincerely,
