Describe the bug

Set font to Liberation Serif.
Set to italic.
type v and ν.

Expected behavior
They should be easier to distinguish.
In hydraulics these symbols are often used in the same formulas.
Liberation serif italic is the default formula font in libreoffice.
I can not use the font because of this.

Yes, more effort needed to differentiate Greek letters in the Liberation fonts!
For what it's worth, in LibreOffice, you can re-define symbols in the LibreOffice Math/Formula tool to use a specific font of your choosing, it will be applied when you use %nu (as opposed to typing the unicode using dead_greek)
