Hi all,

I'm entirely new to planetPTC, so I apologize if I am posting this in the wrong area.

I've been using Mathcad for a year and a half, but recently began experiencing problems with the mathematical operators. Larger operators such as the definite and indefinite integral no longer appear, but are instead replaced with a long row of placeholders. The functions themselves still work; the operators that represent the functions are the problem.

In the picture below, I have attempted to bring up several operators. From top to bottom they are:

Definite Integral

Indefinite Integral

Summation (Sigma)

Multiplication (asterisk)

Fraction Inside a Parenthesis

The image has been attached to this post, in case it cannot be read as it is.

Any help is appreciated!

It's s font problem. Most likely is the symbol font, although it cold be one of the Mathcad fonts. Try reinstalling the symbol font.

Hello!

What version of Mathcad you are using (and, also, on what OS Windows)?

I'm more than willing to try this, but I have no idea where to find the symbol font.
