I found that the problem was that I was using a style sheet that had a font
size for Input of 13. Try evaluating this in a notebook:

Style[a | b, 13]

Also, this only gives a bad Alternatives character for me at 100%
magnification!

But this used to work in Version 6.

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.
