When using openoffice-math symbols like = sign etc are not rendered on the screen and show as blanks. Version -67 and 67.6 do not render BUT -67.5 DOES! What is the difference and can we compile XFree86 with some option that this is possible? Thanks
Absolutely nothing in XFree86 has changed. Whatever is causing the problem, is not XFree86.

For some reason after upgrading when I login the first time and start openoffice-math the symbols are not showing. If I log back out and in again it starts to show. Weird, you can close it if you like. Apparently, there was a bad opensymbol ttf font in openoffice that is the culprit.
Any idea on this, Jakub? (If only occurs on the first time you login, it's still a bug, so reopening at least temporarily) (Moving to freetype because openoffice doesn't use fontconfig)
But the bad opens___.ttf should be fixed in openoffice-1.0.1-5 and later...
OK, I'll assume that there was an upgrade of openoffice somewhere in the above sequence that perhaps was forgotten about. I'm going to resolve this as a duplicate of bug 69996, which is basically "make freetype not barf on fonts broken the way the openoffice fonts used to be broken".
