Hi Mark,
I have installed Kingsoft Office and when I open any of the 3 programmes it produces the same error message.
Some formula symbols might not be displayed correctly due to missing …Resolution
Can you help ?

Try this -
Open a terminal and run these commands in sequence:
sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/fonts/wps-office
then:
cd /usr/share/fonts/wps-office
then (to download the missing fonts from my dropbox):
sudo wget https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/31525164/wps_symbol_fonts.zip
then:
sudo unzip wps_symbol_fonts.zip
and answer “A” if prompted … then:
sudo fc-cache -vf
Now see if Kingsoft Office still moans about the missing “symbols” font.

Thanks Mark,
That worked
You’re welcome 
Mark,
I want rid of Kingsoft Office, I am disappointed with the interface and I can’'t read the mail I create.
How do I get rid ?
If you want to remove any program use the apt-get remove command followed by the name of the program you wish to remove
You would need to do this in root so the command would be
sudo apt-get remove --purge kingsoft-office
that should completely remove the application including any configuration files assigned to the application if you want to leave these files intact on your system miss out the “–purge” parameter
so the command would just be
sudo apt-get remove kingsoft-office
if that fails with a "cannot find package " error try replacing the kingsoft-office with wps-office
Good luck
Graeme
Thanks Emegra,
The deed is done.
I would rather use Libre Office.
EDIT I will mark this solved
Why wouldn’t you like the interface ?
Here’s how I’ve set Kingsoft Writer to open

What’s not to like ?
That interface is spooky
No “borrowing” from Microsoft going on here…
Then again, MS probably “borrowed” it from Wordperfect and Lotus … so who cares right ?
I feel a lot happier working with Libre Office. I thought there was too much going on in Kingsoft.
Thanks for the help
