--- Comment #10 from Jan-Marek Glogowski <glogow at fbihome.de> ---
Does MS Word support fallback glyph handling at all? Do we need a compatibility
option for that? Or is there already one?

LO will also display "the square", if there is no font available, which
contains a glyph for a requested unicode code point. But at this point you have
to guarantee equal installed fonts for LO and MS Office everywhere.

Normally LO comes with a bunch of compatibility fonts (100+ for me) to exactly
prevent these squares. I don't know if these are installed system wide or not
by the Windows installer, but for a normal build they are private to LO, so MS
Word won't see them. So - you can remove the LO_HOME/share/fonts directory (but
I suggest you keep the opensymbol one) and you will probably be back to your
expected state.

Obviously that'll only work where you can guarantee this kind of font setup.
