To avoid the issue of converting texts to vectors, it would be much better to export the original math expression from LaTeX to PDF (e.g using pdflatex compiler), the output PDF is generated with its embedded fonts so there is no fear from any kind of distortion, and because Writer already supports inserting PDF drawings, then after saving ODT as PDF the whole PDFs drawings will be exported with theirs embedded fonts, and the final PDF output will not suffer from any distortion.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Med Medin</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 14 Mar 2023 21:09:48 -0000</pubDate><guid>https://sourceforge.netb721e53e1f82732a9232efa16dad9cb2f2457430</guid></item></channel></rss>
