Re: [Libreoffice] How to add new commands for Math

Michael,

Thank you. I almost could do what I'm supposed to (thanks tml and moggi).

But I now have another issue: the OpenSymbol font doesn't have all
math operators mentioned by Unicode (like "there does not exist"
0x2204) and some diacritics like inverted breve(ligature) (0x0361).

How can it be done?

And how can I got some MathType documentation to know how to export it
these new data?


Regards,
Rodolfo
