Greek italics don't work in MC 15 M020

I just installed Mathcad 15 version M020 and found that the Greek letters in equations don't appear if the font is italics (doesn't appear to matter what basic font is used).

There are two files attached. Both are the same file except one uses Times New Roman italics and one is the same with Time New Roman regular for the equation style. If you click on the H in the one with italics you will see a huge box and cursor that goes on for many pages.

My previous version, M005, did not have this problem.

This problem caused the converter to Prime to not work until I changed the font to regular in the MC15 file.

Has this problem been reported to the PTC support group?

Display issues such as this most likely caused by an out-of-date graphics driver and updating the driver to the latest version should resolve the issue. Users need to visit the appropriate vendor's website to download/install the latest driver.

I am using MC15 M020, too, and I don't experience anything unusual with your file. I can't confirm the huge text box.

So you saw the complete equation in the italics version?

Can you type in Greek math symbols in the italicts version and use them okay also?

Yes two times.

Here is a screenshot of what I see:

    The PTC Support Group helped me get the latest driver in a phone/chat session. It did solve the problem. Thanks so much for the help!

    I got called out of town so I'm a little late with this thankyou note.
