[Issue 126666] New: Symbol for the Product operation (Pi) is
malformed
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=126666
Issue ID: 126666
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: Symbol for the Product operation (Pi) is malformed
Product: Math
Version: 4.1.2
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: Normal
Priority: P5 (lowest)
Component: ui
Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
Reporter: fjcc.apache@gmail.com
The issue was originally reported on the dev list by Howard Morris, using
Windows 10.
Confirmed by Patricia Shanahan on the dev mailing list:
"I am seeing similar problems with the product formula symbol. Exported as PDF,
it looks fine. Viewed in Writer, the capital Pi lacks serifs, making it look
very strange. When I click on it in the formula editor, it is at the bottom
left of a dotted box, and the limits are aligned relative to the box. Not
WYSIWYG.
The fonts are:
Variables: Times New roman, Italic
Functions, Numbers, Text, and Serif: Times New Roman
Sans: Arial
Fixed: Courier New
I have uploaded the files to http://www.patriciashanahan.com/OpenOffice.
product.bmp is a screen shot of the formula editor. product.odt is the actual
file. product.pdf is the PDF export."
Patricia was using Windows 8.1
I cannot reproduce it using Windows 7 or Redhat Linux. Of course, the operating
system may not be the important variable. The bmp mentioned above is attached.

Those are not malformed. Rather at Windows 8.1, and also Windows 10, the OS is
using the "Segoe Symbol UI" font pulling from the Mathematical Operators page
U+2200.
Through Windows 7 and with prior AOO 3 and 4 builds, the Math module worked
from OpenSymbol font if installed.
So, this is technically not a bug as it is imposed by the OS.
Project now needs to figure out how to resume use of the visually more
appealing OpenSymbol font page.

I applied the workaround from the duplicate bug, and it did improve the
appearance of the capital Pi.

And, this has been around for some time. Closing this as a dupe of bug 124203.
