My installation of MathCAD 14 is messed up.
It used to work correctly, but now the multiplication symbol has turned into an empty square. I can't figure out how to restore it to normal. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling MathCAD but it didn't change the behavior.
Also, a left-paren and right parent look normal when on just one line. But if I put parens around a fraction e.g. (3/4) I see a a bunch of empty boxes instead of the parentheses.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Probably the symbol font is corrupted. Delete it from the Windows font folder and reinstall it. Double clicking on a good symbol.ttf should do the job.
Another possible candidate is the Unimath font which can be found on your Mathcad installation CD.

Thanks. That was the problem.
As Werner says, the symbol font is corrupted. Delete symbol.ttf from the fonts folder and install a new copy (attached). Note that the font needs to be installed, simply copying the new file to the fonts folder is not enough.
