Hi everyone!
This is my first post here in the "Ubuntu MATE Community".
I'm running Ubuntu MATE 16.04.1 LTS (Xenial Xerus), 64-bit (with all the updates available from "Software Updater" installed).
In LibreOffice Writer, when I go to the "Styles and Formatting" pane (that appears when you press the F11 key), the first character style appears as having the name of 7 "Squares" or "Rectangles":
If I press the mouse right click button on those Squares/Rectangles to show the context menu and then click on "Modify", then the Dialog Box for "Character Style: Bullets" appear (making it clear that the Squares should stand for the word "Bullets").
I found out that there's a relevant bug/issue reported in the "Document Foundation" Bugzilla:
93968 - Bullets character style uses opensymbol font so has square box preview
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93968
I do have the package "fonts-opensymbol" installed in my system but I'm still having this problem.
Is this happening for other Ubuntu MATE users here or not? Does anyone know some solution for this?
In case it's relevant, I'm including here the output of dpkg -s fonts-opensymbol
:
