Bug Description
Binary package hint: inkscape
1.) I type - = + characters (basic mathematical symbols "minus", "equal", "plus") in some font, say Courier 10 Pitch.
2.) I try to convert these characters to Computer Modern cmmi10 fonts.
3.) The converted characters do not represent any of the intended - = + . Instead, I observe quite different forms. See attachment.
(cmmi fonts are those used by default in LaTeX systems to type mathematical content, i.e. in mathematical regime. It is nice when the same fonts for formulas are used also in figures included into LaTeX documents. This is likely the main reason why some people try to use cmmi10 font in Inkscape.)
