errors in writer (formula)
Gang,
I have been using the formula in writer lately. For ‘cdot’, a command to put a dot between two symbols to indicate multiplication, the dot is not showing up in the document. The other multiplication binary operator ‘times’ that puts an x between two symbols to indicate multiplication is working fine. I have used this before and think it is a new error
Another minor problem, I am not sure if it is new, is for the plus (+) and minus (-) operators there appears to be a (half?) space after the operator, but nor space before the operator. Yes I can force the (half) space using the (`) or (~) character. Another words “1 + 2” should be the default, not “1+ 2”.

RE: errors in writer (formula)

Using OpenOffice Math on Windows 10 en_US, the formula "a cdot b + b" seems to have the dot missing but no problem with the + spacing unless it is a kerning problem on the italic "b". If I zoom in very closely, I see that a small dot has been juxtaposed to the "a".
This appears to be a problem with font availability/substitution when Apache OpenOffice 4.1.2 is installed on Windows 7, 8 and Windows 10.
See <https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=124203>.
The workaround is to perform the font substitution described in Comment 4 there. It seems to solve both problems described by Howard.

The formula
a cdot b
produces the expected result for me on Windows 7 with AOO 4.1.2. I also
don't see any spacing problem with +.
