I want to thank everyone for their replies.
It looks like this is a problem with Windows (I received one confirmation)
and not with Mac.
For those with Windows, evaluate the following statement for a
demonstration:
Manipulate[
Style[a | b, n, Magnification -> m],
{n, Range[8, 30]},
{{m, 1}, {.5, .75, 1.0, 1.25, 1.50}}]
The following font sizes give a bad 'Alternatives vertical bar'.
m = 0.50: 8,9,10,13,14,19,20,25,26
m = 0.75: 9,13,17
m = 1.00: 10,13
m = 1.25: 8,10
m = 1.50: None
This problem only occurs in Input/Output cells - not in text.

Has anyone else noticed that in Version 7 the Alternatives symbol, i.e., the
vertical bar above the backslash character on the keyboard, does not display
properly.
On my Windows Vista system this now displays as a very short vertical bar,
about the size of a quote, in the notebook, although it works properly and
displays properly in the underlying expression.
It still displays properly in Version 6.
