Is there somebody knowledgeable who had actually done it? I can imagine that the fonts have to be registered somewhere, conflicts resolved, etc. It is possible to get TrueType fonts from Microsoft Office, the question is how to incorporate (copy) them into OO without screwing everything else. Guess what, lots of versions changed since then and solution the guy was proposing did not work, at least not on 2.4, 3.0. And, because they are non-default, you still have the same problem when you open document coming from MS Office.Ī while back, I found a little note from a guy who managed to substitute Symbol font used by OOffice by default with something called 'usyr.pbf' ( I think), which comes as part of TeX & Ghostscript.
Non default bullets in OO on MacOs are quite ugly. ODT files work fine, the problem only manifests itself if you close document and open it again, and it has to be 'doc' document. It makes OO much less usable on Mac, I don't know why its developers bother to support OO on MacOs when they don't fix really annoying and highly visible bugs for years. It's sort of understandable that the symbol is just being displayed incorrectly, the problem is that it's impossible to get correct hardcopy of 'doc' document if it has bullet points unless you go and fix all of them.
