Description Symeon Huang 2013-03-22 14:49:22 UTC
I installed LibreOffice 4.0 and Calligra 2.6.1 on my Fedora 18 x86_64 machine.
I've copied symbol and its related fonts files into the fonts directory.
While LibreOffice can display normally, Calligra shows only rectangulars instead of symbols.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make a MS Office document which contains formulas and symbols by MS Office Suite.
2. Open it by Calligra.
Actual Results:  
All the symbols become rectangular shapes.

Expected Results:  
Display symbols normally just like LibreOffice does.

i think you have maybe just forgot to install the font. copying the files over is not enough
I'm pretty sure it works, but please attach a testfile if you still cant get it to work
Comment 2 Camilla Boemann 2013-03-23 10:35:38 UTC
fc-cache -fv

Comment 7 Symeon Huang 2013-03-23 12:34:34 UTC
I've tried the command you mentioned above. Still, not fixed.
I've uploaded the standard output of calligrastage and "fc-cache -fv" command and related screenshots.

P.S. I've installed full suite of calligra.
Comment 8 Camilla Boemann 2013-03-23 12:42:44 UTC
well you have not installed the fonts (the fc-cache output shows it) - it's a local issue - sorry but I don't have time to help you (i'm busy) - try getting help from your distribution or search the internet - it's not calligra specific - most packaging of  libreoffice installs it's own copy of  fonts

calligra (or rather Qt) uses the system

you may have to copy fonts from a windows installation or at least install mscorefonts package

Original M$ file.
Comment 11 Symeon Huang 2013-03-23 14:36:31 UTC
Sorry to disturb you. But the problem still exists even though I installed almost all symbol fonts.

I've asked folks on IRC #fedora-kde , they suggest me to upload my presentation files so you could reproduce the problem.

Actually, the problem maybe more about formula rather than symbols.

calligrastage (2.6.2) output opening sample document

in particular, warnings about
 Unknown Calligra MimeType  "application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.formula"
is likely the concern here
Comment 13 Rex Dieter 2013-03-23 14:52:55 UTC
Fwiw, I have all matter of symbol fonts available and installed too, but seems to me that's not relevant here (imo)

proof it works in calligra

As you can see on this link it works without a problem for me
Comment 15 Camilla Boemann 2013-03-23 15:08:55 UTC
it has all the symptoms of missing font to me

it is an emf or wmf image so there is not even talk about a formula
Comment 16 Rex Dieter 2013-03-23 16:51:40 UTC
OK, I think I found the root cause, and it's related to our fedora packaging. :(

When kformula was removed/disabled from calligra, our packaging scripts omitted kformulapart.desktop , since it apparently referenced a non-existent,
X-KDE-Library=kformulapart

I don't quite fully understand it, but installing that missing file makes things work (again).
Comment 17 Camilla Boemann 2013-03-23 16:54:16 UTC
ok thanks, it sounds really weird indeed
