Hi Dave,

Can you also have a look at "Weierstraß-p" (Unicode U+2118).
In Writer and Math (only Windows, not Linux) the descender appears
slightly truncated.

Also, on Windows 10 OpenSymbol seems to be substituted by some MS font.
Windows 7 still shows OpenSymbol.
That might be a bug in Windows 10 but maybe we can get around this somehow.

Regards,

   Matthias
