Hi Noel This is what I suspect STIX(1) fonts are about: provide to scientific community a font that covers all/most of the math/science demands. You will notice that STIX fonts has a quite hefty support organizations. So basically, given that STIX has all the symbols, why do we need OpenSymbol and the work to fill the gaps? Side note1: Does it make sense to embed fonts in a Math file (as in writer/calc/impress)? Side note2: LO can do a marketing fuss if it supports STIX natively.
