Trouble with TraditionalForm in Mathematica 6.0

I have a trouble with Mathematica :  I write

2/3

and I see :

I'm working under Linux Ubuntu 7.04, and the print is good.

Can somebody help me ?

Hi Dan,

there is something wrong with your slash. You may convince yourself by 

typing: Divide[a,b] instead of a/b. Somhow mathematica gets another 

character than slash. I assume your are using a non english keyboard. 

Check your international settings.

hope this helps, Daniel

what is wrong is the look ov the slash. But it is unterstood like a
slash. The small square is the straight and short line. And the result
when I print (to my printer :) ) is good.

I use the Kubuntu 6.04 system.

No ideas ?

This is just a guess, but make sure that Mathematica has access to its 
fonts:

Hi Dan,

I have exactly the same problem, however I am working under Gentoo
Linux. I had a look under Edit->Preferences->Advanced. I opened the
Option Inspector and looked at Formatting Options->Font Options-
"Bitmap", "Outline" and "NoTrueType". If I choose the latter then I
can see the "/@#" characters again. However the overall quality feels
slightly worse.

Could you please check whether that works for you as well?

You're right, it works well.
I had a discussion mith Mathematica Support. I will report your
method, and come back with their answer.

Thank's a lot !

Daniel.

Hi Dan,

I finally found out what was the problem on my system (Gentoo). I had
still the Gentoo package for the mathematica 5.2 fonts installed
(media-fonts/mathematica-fonts). I had removed their path from the
xorg.conf and added the location of the mathematica 6 fonts their.
However in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf still the path of the mathematica 5.2
was present. Adding the mathematica 6 font path to the /etc/fonts/
local.conf did not help. However, when I finally completely
uninstalled the mathematics 5.2 fonts everything works fine.

I am not sure that this helps you, but you might check the above
configuration files as well.
