The answer to your question really depends on how you're going to
use the documents you create. I know you're creating them on
Windows, but if some of your readers will be using Macs, then
you're better off with OpenType fonts. They were initially
created jointly by Adobe and Microsoft, and that was one of their
objectives -- fonts that would work equally well on both
platforms. I'd say as long as your docs are behaving normally,
just leave things as is. If you choose to delete one of the
Symbol fonts though, delete the TTF one. (A safer move would be
to just change the extension. You could change it to ttbk, for
example {for TTF backup}, and Windows wouldn't recognize it as a
font. Then you could change it back if you decide you need it.
The name after the change would then be symbol.ttbk.)

Without looking at a document, I'm only guessing what the problem
is. The default configuration for Equation Editor is to type
variables and lower-case Greek letters in an italic font. That
wouldn't be the case in Word (i.e., outside of Equation Editor),
unless you specifically made them italic. When I tried it in
Word, the Equation Editor presentation was the same as the Word
presentation, as long as the same characters were italicized in
Word as they were in Equation Editor. Italicized letters adjacent
to upright letters have different spacing than italicized or
upright letters adjacent to the same type. I'm thinking that's
the difference, but if it's not, send me a sample document
privately and I'll look at it.
