Image of the incorrectly parsed font

There exists an issue that cropped up in one of the later versions of
OpenOffice (approx v3.2) that has carried into the LibreOffice suite, where
certain characters do not format correctly in .doc formatted writer documents.
Certain characters from the Wingdings font (and other special character fonts)
tend to display as the wrong character. 

For example, a checkbox actually displays as the wrong character. For example,
in some instances it appears as a small equation (1/(2x)). There are several
characters from this set that do not display correctly, the attachment has an
example. It should be as below, but looks like the image in the attachment in
LibreOffice Writer 3.5.2
