            Bug ID: 114036
           Summary: VIEWING : Symbol and Opensymbol fonts shows rectangles
                    instead of greek characters in libreoffice writer 5.3
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.3.6.1 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
I work under linux KUbuntu 16.04 64 bits, with KDE.
I have many .odt files with greek characters coming from the "symbol.ttf" font.
It works very well under libreoffice 5.1.
I updated to libreoffice 5.3, there the greek characters disappeared.
They were all replaced by white rectangles.
I removed libreoffice 5.3 to come back to libreoffice 5.1 and characters are
back.
I tried on another computer also on linux KUbuntu 16.04 64 bits + KDE, with
version 5.4 of libreoffice, there the characters worked well.
So I hope this is just a temporary regression in 5.3, with is resolved in 5.4.

Thank you for your development, Bernard Gisin.

2.type a character just after your symbol, a rectangle appear.
3.OR
4.Type letters, select them then change the font to symbol, the greek letters
appear as rectangles.

Actual Results:  
white rectangles appear.

Expected Results:
greek characters should appear.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
>From on test, as I already wrote, the problem doesn't appear under version 5.4
