Description
Steps to reproduce
When i'm trying to paste text copied from Word document and containing special characters with font "Symbol" the dialog window that opens on click on "Paste from Word" button doesn't show the special characters like lamda, mu, copyright symbol, etc. correctly.
- I make a Word document with the sting containing special characters for "lambda mu" and copy this thext string.
- I can check the contents of my clipboard in Free Clipboard Viewer 3.0 in the Tab HTML Format. My clipboard then contains such code
<body lang=DE style='tab-interval:35.4pt'> <!--StartFragment--><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family: Symbol;mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-font-family:Calibri;mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;mso-char-type:symbol;mso-symbol-font-family:Symbol'><span style='mso-char-type:symbol;mso-symbol-font-family:Symbol'>a</span></span><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Symbol;mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-language: EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA;mso-char-type:symbol;mso-symbol-font-family:Symbol'><span style='mso-char-type:symbol;mso-symbol-font-family:Symbol'>m</span></span><!--EndFragment--> </body>
- I click the "Paste from Word" button in the CKEditor on the http://ckeditor.com/demo and paste the contents of my clipboard into the opend dialog.
Expected result
the symbols lambda and mu are shown as symbols, exactly as in the Word document.
Actual result
in Chrome: the symbols lambda and mu are shown as symbols, exactly as in the Word document.
in Firefox:
the sting "am" is pasted into the dialog

In the attached Word document you can see some longer text containing the special characters that are not correctly pasted on copy paste in Firefox

Issuem seems to be gone in Chrome and IE but not Firefox.
The problem is that the same tendence can be observed in native contenteditable iframe or any contenteditable element for that matter. When you paste your sample text into Chrome or IE editable element it gest displayed properly but in Firefox you can see standard 'a' characters.
From what I can see Firefox removes some of the styles and doesn't seem to understand them (I have tried pasing them manually but that didn't change ‘a’ to lambda like in Chrome for example). I'm sorry but this is a "won't fix" for us if Firefox can't understand these styels.
