Description derekpoon 2007-12-04 20:08:57 UTC 
The attached Microsoft Word document (badhbar.doc) illustrates the problem in
two equations.

In the first (a MathType 5.0 object), hbar is rendered as h.  This is bad, since
the expression is now inaccurate -- off by a factor of 2pi.  (The first equation
also illustrates that Issue 3780, which has been marked Closed, has not been
fixed yet.)

The second object, a Microsoft Equation Editor object, shows the hbar character
as a placeholder box until the object is double-clicked, at which point it
correctly displays as hbar.

I am also attaching two PDF exports: one from Microsoft Word illustrating the
intended rendering, and one from OpenOffice.org illustrating the bugs.

Running on the OpenOffice.org package that comes with Debian Etch.  In Tools ->
Options -> Load/Save -> Microsoft Office, I have enabled MathType conversion for
loading and saving.

MRU->SJ: see attached document, the MathType metafile does not display the hbar
symbol. It is only displayed as simple h (without the horizontal bar). Also the
arrows are displayed much too high above the characters. 
I could only see this on Linux, on Windows this looks like in MS Word.

Although there are some improvements in OOo 3 (arrors are on the places, second 
h has a bar), regression is obvious: some symbols inside formula are displayed 
as "?", they go behind normal symbols and overlap them, making formula 
unreadable
