Hi all

I am using Word 2007 and would like to use my own choice of font when
create equations. Is this possible, or am I stuck with the defaul
font? If it can be changed, how?

Thanks in advance

Rober
 
I gather from reading previous postings that Cambria Math is the only font
supported at this time.

But, of course, you can use the old equation editor which does allow you to
change the font.

Thanks.

I thought that Cambria Math might be all that is available.

However, if we don't use the equation builder, is there a way to mak
my x-bar symbol (regardless of the font)?

As Stefan hinted, you can still access and use the legacy EE - which many
users prefer anyway. Insert, Object and scroll down the list to Microsoft
Equation 3.
 
Hi Robert,

There are other fonts being developed for Math/MathML that would contain the
character glyphs used for equations but the pace seems to have slowed for
technical, time or 'we need to add other feature' reasons <g>. Stixfonts
were due out last summer http://www.stixfonts.org/proj_timeline.html and now
it's not clear what the status is, but the earlier beta version is still
available along with information on some of the font activity at sites such
as http://www.mozilla.org/projects/mathml/fonts/ and
http://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/info/Free_Math_Font_Survey/survey.html, but
I haven't tested others to see if they work with the equation editor in Word
2007, in part because of the very poor quality of the 'graphic' version of
these equations that is created by Word when the files are used by folks in
older versions.
