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.

Jens
