Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 12557
sqrt doesn't display correctly in 644m1 or 1.1 stable beta

File>New>Formula In the blank screen type sqrt 2 The square root symbol does not display correctly, only the horizontal bar shows, with a blank rectangle displayed in front instead of the tick.
Created attachment 5191 [details] square root display bug in formula editor 1.1 stable and 644m1
The square look like a font registration problem. Does it occur for other Math characters also? For example when using "int a" or "hat a"? However in OO 644m4 everything is fine. (I do not have OO644m1 available right now...)
TL->MRU: Please check.
Just downloaded and reinstalled the latest beta 1.1. The problem is still there. In fact it appears that the square root screen representation is made up of two parts, the tick, and a horizontal bar across the top of the figure. The tick mark is missing and only the horizontal bar is present. System : Linux Mandrake 9.0 (latest security patches applied, no cooker), OOo stable beta 1.1 Alex.
I have exactly the same problem with version 1.1 beta, running Mandrake 9.1
Thank you, thank you !! Phew ! I was beginning to think I was the only one. Can anyone from the developer team confirm ? Alex
I can repruduce this bug with OOo beta 1.1 on Debian Woody, SuSE 7.3 and also on Windows 2000.
I've just uploaded a screenshot of the editor and the result to the issue No. 12726, where I'd submitted this bug. Reproduced at Windows 2000 SP3.
MRU->IH: The new OpenSymbol font seems to be messed up. The problem only occurs when using the new OpenSymbol and also it is about 55k smaller than the older one.

Workaround to replace OpenSymbol font with the one from 643c buld works for me. Does it worth to put the link to the font at the main page of the OO site? The problem can affect a lot of people, especially because the presented build is beta, not developer build and many people will use it.
Could anyone please post a link/comment - how to transfer fonts from 643C to 1.1 beta? I copied (over-wrote) OpenOffice.org644/share/fonts/truetype by the one from 643C. Now all the symbols are messed up. Thanks!
I am faced with the same problem as RK's. Someone could attach here a proper OpenSymbol file to be used with LINUX (not Windows!!) for immediate workaround?
IH: I have created a new version (1.6) of the OpenSymbol font that seems to work correct. I have given my new font to our QA people and if they say it is ok I will check in. It is no good to use the old one because the old one has wrong CMAP tables. I had many bugs for the old font so I created a new one, that has unfortunately some problems with the private use symbol area of the font. I hope my latest version is a good fix for this.

Dear IH, Thanks for providing the font file. It looks OK with the sqrt on my Linux platform. Allow me some time to double-check other symbols.
Thanks IH, As far as I can tell, new symbol font is fine. All my old files are opening correctly :-)

MRU->IH: I can confirm. The new revision of the OpenSymbol font looks good.

IH: new font file checked in - it is the same one that I attached.

On WinXP, OOo1.1RC3, my OpenSymbol font is buggy - specifically, I can not get any bracket or brace symbols to print out. Using the OpenSymbol font file that calme with 1.0.3.1 fixes this problem.
Argh. To make a very long story short, after *mulitple* reboots, the RC3 font, as delivered, works correctly. Further investigation leads me to believe this bug was the result of my WinXP being flakey, and NOT a problem with the OOo-1.1RC3 font file. Sigh.
