With the native Win32 port, this seems to be a known (and unsolvable?) issue with the port of Qt. It only affects certain symbols (the equality sign being a particularly annoying one). I've managed to get readable math on a not entirely reliable basis by cranking the screen zoom to 200% (leaving DPI at 96), but that also drastically reduces how much is visible on screen. Oddly enough, sometimes cranking the zoom *down* also works (provided my aged eyes can read the tiny print). -- Paul ************************************************************************* Paul A.
