Hi Byte,

        The text looks like Times new Roman. The Character map for
New Roman includes most of the missing characters. However, the text
includes "two story" brackets that are tall enough to go around a two
line fraction. The map doesn't seem to include these. The
"application", a statistical calculator, has only a choice of size for
the font. Changing that does not change the equation size. It
appears that a different font was used for the math. Everything
appears as it should when printed including all missing characters.

        Thanks !

                Daven
