[MUG] Symbol display problem
Author: Maple    Posted: Thu, 10 Oct 2002 04:56:12 -0700
>> From: "Maple" Hello, I seem to have a problem with my Maple character display settings. I have posted a picture at http://ron.dotson.org/temp/Picture1.gif that illustrates the problem. As you can see, the second and third terms in the series expansion shown underneath the "expand(%);" command show a series of stacked special characters to delimit each term of the series expansion instead of extra large brackets or braces or even vertical lines, which is what I assume should be displayed. I suspect the problem is with my choice of symbol settings somewhere, but I cannot find any choice of options for this. I have Maple 8 (April 22, 2002, Build ID 110847). Thank you, Ron Dotson

I have Maple 8 (April 22, 2002, I have no idee how you got this special characters. But try Format ->Styles the window style management is coming up and then under style: choose: maple output -> modify then you can choose different fonts. Heike Koch-Beuttenmueller

>> From: "Maple" Thanks very much for your help Heike, but as it turns out I sent in a request to Maple technical support and got and answer back that solved my problem the very next day. Maple tech support suggested that I select "File->Preferences->IO Display" and then select either Typeset Notation or Standard Math Notation. Well, my setting was already set for "Standard Math Notation" but just for the heck of it I switched to "Typeset Notation" and the large braces appeared just as they should instead of the bizarre special characters in my example. The really strange thing is that I then switched back to "Standard Math Notation" just to make sure the problem was repeatable - and it wasn't! The symbols now display correctly whether I used "Standard Math Notation" or "Typeset Notation" and I cannot recreate the original problem! That's fine with me as long as everything works properly. I can only assume that something hadn't been initialized properly when I installed Maple, and that switching the I/O Output Display fonts selection back and forth cleared up whatever the initialize problem was. In any case I'm a happy camper now, and I wish to thank Maple tech support very much for their quick response and effective solution to the problem. It's really wonderful to be using a product that is actually supported by the vendor. Just try sending an email request for help to Microsoft and see what you get back - absolutely nothing except a computer generated reply! Maple is a great product!
