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.
