Thanks Carlos for bringing LetterSpace to our attention. It shows that WRI can add some extra characters if they wish. I am still eagerly awaiting the day when WRI will similarly supply us with 'PrimeCharacter' and 'DoublePrimeCharacter' that display at the correct height and don't sit on the floor. Then users will easily be able to use some of the most common notation in math books. -- David Park djmpark at comcast.net http://home.comcast.net/~djmpark/ "Cca" <cca at gregosetroianos.mat.br> wrote in message news:g73u00$ng4$1 at smc.vnet.net... > Steven, > > One of the new small things in Mathematica 6 (so it seems) is the > non-printing character \[LetterSpace].
