I don't use Windows. But my problem is that I can't find all the fractions
I need with existing characters. I do have 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 already. But
I don't have:
1/3
1/5
1/8
2/3
I can't find those. (If you have those on a Unix system, please email
those characters to me.)
For now, I just use:
$\frac{1}{3}$
$\frac{1}{5}$
$\frac{1}{8}$
$\frac{2}{3}$
