Post by obaskin »

Hello everybody,

I've a little question. How can I write or insert mathematical characters for the set theory?

Best regards

I think it is just a question of having some method of inputting the Mathematical Operators, and selecting a suitable font like Code 2000, DejaVu, or my own Verajja font. Any character map would do, but BabelMap is a comprehensive Unicode Character map, and is fine for a cut and paste job.

If you want easier text input of special symbols for intensive text editing, then you need to make a custom keyboard with MS Keyboard Layout Creator, or use a utility like AllChars.

If you want more than single line text input, with superscripts, fancy braces, etc., then you're out of luck. The annotation tools don't support complex formatting — just font, colour, bold, italics, etc.

http://www.openoffice.org has a Math processor as well as a word processor. That might be what you are after.
