Nobody seems to have experienced the same problem I had. I reproduced it again after the reinstall, though it isn't as bad as it was before. The problem is that the fraction line is broken. To prove to you that I am not (too) crazy, I put screenshots on my website. The first one was taken before I changed Windows' graphics settings around to see if that made a difference (bit depth, performance options, etc): http://chrischiasson.com/files/MMAGraphTextError1.png http://chrischiasson.com/files/MMAGraphTextError2.png What would cause this? I have also seen it in some exported PDFs before... --------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mr. Chiasson, I found your note on MathGroup archive (above). I looked at archives, so I do not know if an answer has been provided over the weekend. I duplicated the problem with Mathematica for Windows 5.0 and 5.2, and Macintosh 5.0. On Macintosh version 5.2, the line was continuous; this may be why some MathGroup responders did not see it earlier. (Also, your earlier posts were not as clear as to what problem you were asking about.) The broken line may be an artifact of an old issue with PostScript rendering. You seem to have found a good a workaround with TraditionalForm. Corrections for PostScript-related problems are being worked on; I do not have a schedule for when versions with them will be released.
