Description Unknown 2003-11-23 18:22:26 UTC 
If you create a formula inside a writer document that has that 
pi * r² = 3.14 * 0.5^2 simeq 0.8 cm ^ 2 * 3.4 simeq 2700 bits 
the generated pdf document can't be seen neither by gv, kghostview, etc (but 
yes on acrobat reader), instead of that, if the formula is  
pi * r^2 = 3.14 * 0.5^2 simeq 0.8 cm ^ 2 * 3.4 simeq 2700 bits  
the generated pdf can be correcly seen on gv, kghostview, etc, i think it can 
be the others programs fault, but if at generation moment, you changed the ² 
thing to ^2 it would work also.

I cannot reproduce this; i guess this may be a font problem. Please
attach the failing PDF and the original document.

Comment 6 philipp.lohmann 2003-11-26 17:48:20 UTC 
Strange, the file displays bad in gs 7.05 but without problems in gs
8.11. Furthermore the font being used for the small upper 2 is Nimbus
Roman No 9L italic, which is a type 1 font; we don't do anything
special here.

I'll have to dig a little further; as a workaround i recommend
updating to gs 8.11.
Comment 7 philipp.lohmann 2003-11-26 17:48:58 UTC 
adjusted target
Comment 8 thorsten.ziehm 2004-03-09 10:25:44 UTC 
Because of limited resources we have decided to set this task to OOo2.0.
A workaround is to update to gs 8.11.
Comment 9 christof.pintaske 2004-06-16 14:47:21 UTC 
works with gs 7.07, so seems to be a problem of old ghostscript versions
