Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 15656
Copy OpenSymbol -> Paste StarSymbol
Last modified: 2017-05-20 10:55:56 UTC
I will attach a test document after submitting this report. Copy the lambda symbol, which is an OpenSymbol font. Then try to paste it at the end of the same line; Impress will paste a StarSymbol font instead of an OpenSymbol font. The same problem occurs if you select a piece of text with miscellaneous fonts: all OpenSymbols are pasted as StarSymbols. This happens, as an example, with %lambda, %omega, %theta, %sigma, %beta, drarrow. This is not a big problem if the document has to be handled only through OOo, as OOo displays correctly StarSymbols; but, if you save the document as a .ppt file, mspowerpoint does not find StarSymbols and shows squares instead of symbols, hence you have to change the font type to OpenSymbol everywhere by hand.
