Re: Re: Re: PlotLabel - SubscriptBox - Vers.

Hi Carl,

your suggestion works fine with me. Thank you very much for your input.


So in summary:

1)
The FontColor problem was solved by replacing the local copy of 
Default.nb (dated from some previous version of Mathematica) and 
replacing it with a version 6 Default.nb.

2)
The FontSlant problem can be solved with SingleLetterItalics->False and 
TraditionalForm.


Thanks to all who made suggestions to my problem.


Kind regards,
Thomas.
