OpenOffice hackers! Symbol fonts (again)

Mon Nov 24 22:42:42 UTC 2003

For some reason the symbol fonts (Symbol, Open Symbol, Standard
Symbols) do not behave in OpenOffice 1.1.0 on Fedora. Inserting
symbols from the dialog is ok, but typing them does not work and
neither does import/export to MS Word doc format. These things do work
on RH9 using the same version of OOo, so this seems to be a
regression. Can someone in the know try to find out what is going on?
