<pre>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.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Insert a symbol from the font "symbol" or "opensymbol"
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
