[Issue 125982] New: OpenSymbol font cannot be displayed correctly by Windows 8

https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=125982

          Issue ID: 125982
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: OpenSymbol font cannot be displayed correctly by
                    Windows 8
           Product: Math
           Version: 4.1.1
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows 8
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3

modified OpenSymbol font

When using formulas (e.g. in Impress) Windows 8 replaces the glyphs by a
different font (smaller and without serifs). One effect of this is that
operstors like cdot are misplaced. Even more serious is the 'broken' square
root sign.
This is independent from OO version - I've tried 3.3, 4.1.0 and 4.1.1. The same
documents look correctly on Windows 7 (or older).
The root cause is the OpenSymbol.ttf - Version 2.4.3. Several font editors
(e.g. FontForge, FontCreator) report bugs and inconsistencies loading this font
file. So I created a new OpenSymbol based on the old version 1.7, added some
missing glyphs and now it works even on a Win 8 system. You can find this file
here:
