Created attachment 74166 [details]
Screenshot of the described problem

Mathematical Symbols like "cdot" or "sqrt" are displaced when using Windows 8.

1. Enter simple formula like: a cdot b
2. The cdot is shifted to the left and almost overlaps with the a

or

1. Enter: sqrt{a over b}
2. The sqrt-operator is not drawn correctly

Formatting settings are default.
Font is "Times New Roman". I have tried other fonts as well with the same result.

When exporting the document containing the formula to pdf then everything is displayed correctly.

              
Operating System: Windows 8
Version: 4.0.0.3 rc

Tank you for reporting this bug, 
I can't reproduce this bug running LibreOffice 4.0.0.3 on Windows 7 

I think its just a Windows 8 bug, I wil try to reporuce it later on a Windows 8 PC

Still reproducible with 4.0.1.2 under Win8
Comment 5 Jacques Guilleron 2013-03-10 09:09:10 UTC
Hi,

It seems that Opensymbol font, which is used for all signs, was changed by Liberation only for Windows 8. This is confirmed on several machines on qa-fr lists and bug 61622 I mark as a Duplicate of this one.

Still reproducible with 4.0.2.2 under Windows 8
Comment 8 Matt Matthews 2013-08-28 11:24:18 UTC
I'm very interested in getting this bug fixed. My wife uses LibreOffice for all of her teaching materials, and now that her new laptop has Windows 8, the mathematics formatting is completely broken.

Does anyone have any idea why this regression on Windows 8 only?
Comment 9 tommy27 2013-11-02 08:26:38 UTC
hi, have u tried installing brand new 4.1.3 release?
is the bug still there in Win8?
Comment 10 Björn Michaelsen 2014-01-17 09:58:42 UTC
(This is an automated message.)

Setting priority to highest as this is a 4.0 MAB. This is part of an effort to make the importance of MAB reflected in priority too.
Comment 11 Andrea 2014-01-31 10:30:59 UTC
Still reproducible with 4.2.0.4 under Windows 8
Comment 12 chtfn 2014-02-13 23:09:55 UTC
Moving to mab4.1 (Bug 60270) because:
- 4.0 reached EOL (End Of Life)
- bug confirmed in later version
Comment 13 Falk Bittermann 2014-03-31 19:15:09 UTC
This weekend LibreOffice was presented at a fair. We tested the new 4.2.2 on a Windows 8 machine, the bug was as reported. On a Windows 7 machine the display was much better. So it still happens ...
Comment 14 tommy27 2014-05-02 16:17:34 UTC
moving to mab4.2 since 4.1.x is END OF LIFE
Comment 15 ign_christian 2014-08-14 02:09:39 UTC
Same suspicion as Jacques, probably it's about OpenSymbol font.

Anyone using Windows please see Bug 76239, especially: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76239#c18 about how to get the font.

Does it resolved the problem?
Comment 16 tommy27 2014-11-29 17:41:59 UTC
