Math / equation editor font mismatch.

Dear Math users -

Is is just me or is there something amiss with the text rendering in Math?
I have LibreOffice 5.0 on Windows 10.
When using Math both the symbol browser and the embedded equation fail to render correctly:
+ in the text entry area is rendered as an envelope glyph.
/ in the text entry area is rendered as open mailbox glyph.
neg in the text entry area is rendered as a fat star glyph.
= in the text entry area is rendered as a floppy disk glyph.
> in the text entry area is rendered as a tape glyph.
( and ) in the text entry area are rendered as telephone glyphs.

It's all quite fun, but it really what was intended, and any Ideas as to how to fix it?

I use LibreOffice 5 on LinuxMint 17.2 and the text is rendered correctly.
Have a look in Format -> Fonts when you are in Math and see what fonts are
shown there. They should be the same as the default font you use for
Writer documents. (In my case I use Liberation Serif in Writer and this
also is shown as the font in Math.) If they are not change them to thye
fonts you use in Writer. Otherwise I cannot help you.

That is likely the problem described in https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76239 and its duplicates. Use http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/plain/extras/source/truetype/symbol/opens___.ttf to get the font and install it.

Kind regards
