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
fc-cache -fv is the command to be run

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.
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

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.
Created attachment 78318 [details] 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
Fwiw, I have all matter of symbol fonts available and installed too, but seems to me that's not relevant here (imo)
Created attachment 78319 [details] proof it works in calligra As you can see on this link it works without a problem for me
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
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).
ok thanks, it sounds really weird indeed
