Thanks for doing this. Yeah, they're quite different really. Its not so
much that they *look* different which wouldn't be too much of a problem,
but clearly the glyphs are of different sizes so if e.g. we removed
StarSymbol and used Stix instead then existing equations wouldn't flow
in the available space the same way as they currently do. With knock on
effects for writer and calc as well as they use those bullets.

This doesn't of course preclude using Stix for *new* documents, just
that opensymbol has to hang around to render pre-existing documents.
