Re: tdf#120047 Support attribute harpoon/wideharpoon in Math

Hi Regina,

(I have sent the following message last sunday, but the mailing list put it down
due to the size limit exceeded with attached files.  Retrying the same but with
links instead.)

Thank you for checking the changeset.

Uploaded opens___.ttf to bugzilla generated from the modified OpenSymbol.sfd.
I have given --enable-build-opensymbol to configure to build it on macOS.

I see.  I am not sure why, but I do have observed that combining the harpoon/vec
symbol can produce some awkward layout when using a different font for variables,
etc.  Although it is not exactly what you faced, for example, see attached
screenshots [1][2];  they differs only with respect to the font chosen for
variables, however in the bad one the symbols are too close to their underlying
glyphs.
