When I click on the Pi in the formula editor it is centered both vertically and horizontally in the dotted box. That was all on Windows 7. I also looked at a similar formula in Linux and had no problem. The fonts there are Liberation Serif, Liberation Sans and DejaVu Sans Mono. If no one has a suggestion here in the next several hours, I'll open a thread on the user forum to see if anyone there has an idea. Francis
