OK this does look quite nice. One of the first things I tried however - including Greek symbols in expressions - resulted in the word 'alpha' appearing in the output where I had written the actual symbol α. I was a bit surprized since FriCAS does natively support many utf-8 characters including Greek symbols in variable names. It seems that TeXmacs itself is doing something different. If I wanted to extend TeXmacs to properly handle such symbols where should I start? Should I expect help with something like this on the texmacs-devel list? > ... > Switching paper mode from pages to papyrus makes TeXmacs much quicker > (optimizing page breaks is expensive). > The latest TeXmacs version 1.99.1 which I installed from rpm seems to use papyrus mode by default. It is not that fast. :( If that is quicker then I don't think a would want to use the pages mode at all! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "FriCAS - computer algebra system" group.
