Hi,

changing the brackets is much easyer. Open the Option Inspector,

Formating Options | 
   Font Options | 
     Private FontOptions | 
       Operator Substitution -> False

will use backets form the normal fonts. The help say

 With the default setting, "OperatorSubstitution" -> True, special 
characters such as  {, (, or [ are replaced by the 
equivalent characters in a special Mathematica font. 
This allows, for example, spanning characters to 
change size when the expression containing them grows larger.  

With the setting "OperatorSubstitution" -> False, the above characters
are not replaced by equivalent Mathematica characters. In this case,
spanning characters cannot change size automatically. 

Regards
  Jens
