The version 1.0.1-5 solved the problem of not seeing many of the math symbols like the = sign etc. This is great. One remaining problem is that the ordinary short vector of a character comes out to be much higher that it should, whereas the longvector of a single character is OK.
Openoffice people are saying this would be resolved in 643. I wonder if there is any patch around.
Well, openoffice 1.1 is coming out soon (based on 645) and solved all these problems. I presume we'll get an rpm when it is released!
Please try current OOo 1.1.0, and reopen if problem still occurs
