Math symbols in Illustrator?

Is it possible to make math symbols in Illustrator like pi, alpha, beta etc?

As long as you have a font with those glyphs defined. Try Symbol.

How to insert a math symbol in a pages document

I have a nonstandard math symbol to insert inot a pages document. Please explain how to do it.

If it is really non-standard, like not in Unicode, then you would have to use an image. For things in Unicode, try an app like Cymbol or search the app store for "equation".

FrameMaker 11 not displaying some math symbols-how to correct or work around?

Hello,
I created a few equations for a manual, and everything displayed correctly. After I was upgraded to a new computer (same OS - Win 7), all the minus signs in the equations I made aren't displaying—all I get are (?)s.
I've tried creating a new equation, but the minus symbol still isn't displaying. Strange to me that it's only the minus symbol not displaying; all other operators display correctly.
I'm wondering if this is a symbol font issue, or a unicode issue, but after searching the forums all morning (and all afternoon yesterday) I haven't found any information on correcting the issue or working around it.
*Update*
I had a coworker open the file in question, and the minus symbols all displayed correctly. He is running Frame 11 on XP.

The font used for the math symbols is specified in the maker.ini with the MathFamily=Symbol entry in the [Fonts] section.
I've tried playing around with changing this in FM11 and FM12, but I always get the minus sign to appear in both versions. [There is a minor bug in FM12 no longer supporting the backslash sequences, so I was checking if other things were pooched.]
The math characters, on the other hand, are defined in the fminit\mathchar.cfg file, e.g.
< alpha      61 Symbol Regular>
< beta      62 Symbol Regular>
< plus      2b Times Regular>
< equal      3d Times Regular>
< minus      d0 Times Regular>
etc.
Notice that there is a mix of Font Families specified in the cfg file. It could be that if Times is missing and FM doesn't properly substitute proprly, one may get the unknown character.
Try changing the font definitions in the mathchar.cfg file (and make a back-up so that it can be restored if this gets messed up).

How to use math symbols in a right to left text properly?

Hey there
When I write a simple mathematical equation or a number(which has sign) in the middle of a right to left text in a text box(I simply set keyboard language to EN for typing expressions & numbers) it's like mathematical symbols are somehow not considered math symbols and that's weird since in word it's not that way, take the following sentence for example that means result of the 0-127 expression is -127:
حاصل عبارت 127-0 برابر 127- است.
In word I can type it just fine(for typing expressions and numbers I set keyboard language to EN) but when I type it the same way in adobe acrobat I get this:
حاصل عبارت 0-127 برابر -127 است.
copy & paste from word also doesn't do any help, so If I want to get it right I should type math expressions from right to left meaning as instance to type 0-127 I should first type 127 then - and finally 0 also should type digits of a number before typing its sign as example for typing -127 I should first type 127 then - ,now I wonder is it the way acrobat works or I'm doing something wrong.
By the way OMG o_O even when I did copy & paste my messasge from word to the text box of forum for posting, it ended up treating math parts in upper right to left paragraph the same way as acrobat I just had to write them from right to left!
Anyone has any idea?

In a word document I wrote:
حاصل عبارت 127-0 برابر 127- اسـت
Then tried printing it using "Adobe PDF" printer, in output pdf that sentence was written in right order and interestingly it was broken into three text boxes thanks for reply.

How to use math symbols in Pages

How can I find math symbols in Pages?
Do I need additional Software or is there a possibility as in Microsoft Word?

You can find some math symbols in Pages if you go to Special Characters. Open Pages, go to Edit menu (on the menu bar) > Special Characters, and choose math symbols in the sidebar, so you will be able to add a symbol double-clicking the symbol.
However, it may not include all symbols. In this case, you will have to use other third-party applications

I am not able to access ANSI character ALT 0165 Symbols font (infinity symbol) in Illustrator in CS (Windows 8.1) but I can access it in Illustrator 10 running on Windows XP. Any way to download the complete symbol character set under symbols to Illustrat

I need to use the infinity symbol in Illustrator but it is not available in Illustrator in CS5 running on Windows 8.1. It is available in Illustrator 10 running on Windows XP. Is there any way to access the INFINITY character under fonts in Illustrator in CS5 (Windows 8.1)?

Thank you for your suggestion. But I do not know how to access UNICODE. How do I download Unicode fonts?
Also I have a problem working copying illustrations from Illustrator launched from CS5. The illustration does not copy correctly into FrameMaker 10 with Windows 8.1. However, the illustration copies correctly if I use Illustrator 10 in my computer with Windows XP. How do I solve this?
When I called Adobe I was just told that they do not support CS5.

Preview not showing math Symbols in PDF files

I just upgraded to 10.6.1 and now preview is not showing math symbols like PI and the symbol for integrate, for example. Adobe Reader however displays the same files correctly. Now before anyone says anything about why am I using preview to view a PDF if I have adobe reader i downloaded Adobe reader to see if it was having the same issue. Just as a note the symbols show up in pages, stickies, etc. but not in Preview. If you copy the text in containing the symbol and paste into any of the aforementioned programs it is correctly displayed. I know it is not the font book, also i know it is not the files as other macs running 10.5 have no issues, i have the same programs they do the only difference is i am running 10.6. Anyone else having this issue or know how to fix it? I tried a new user and the same errors occur. No error messages or an other acknowledgment by the OS of error is presented.

I realize that preview has had some changes my main concern is whether or not this is an issue with my installation or if it is an issue with everyone running preview. I realize this is hard to know for sure but if you are having issues with preview displaying characters please let me know. Thanks for the file name for the plist i was not sure if there were other files that effected preview that were not so obvious.

Firefox math symbols not displaying correctly

Firefox math symbols not displaying correctly and special characters not display correctly
Example: triangle symbol display "D" , but other browser is displaying fine.
Please give me a solution.
Thanks & Regards
Ajay Kumar

This page uses the Symbol font to display the triangles.
<pre><nowiki>font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Symbol;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:black</nowiki></pre>
It works for me on Linux, but probably not on Windows.<br />
Websites shouldn't be using this Symbol font, but use the Unicode replacements instead: Δ (&#916; &Delta;).

Math Symbols in Flash

Hi! I'm currently working on a project that will need to
display square root symbols over dynamic text (ie. depending on the
server, i may need to display the square root of 3, or 5, or 2938).
i actually do not need to calculate it, only to display it. Is
there a way for me to use math symbols like this, as well as the
more common ones, say, pi, squared and cubed numbers in Flash?
thanks

Dan,

MathML is a cool flavor of XML, but Flash doesn't natively
support
MathML, even though it does fine with XML in general. The
upshot is that
it's theoretically possible to write a MathML API for Flash,
but until some
3rd party or Adobe writes it, there isn't a way to display
math equations in
Flash based on MathML markup.

Insert Greek Math Symbol

Created JSP BC4J application using JDeveloper 3.2.3. One of the
functions is to interpret the tilde and overcaret keyboard
characters as Greek Math Symbols when using the insert and edit
JSP pages, then saving them to the 8i database.
The problem I am having is the interpretation. If anyone can
point me in the right direction and/or provide a sample
methodology -- I would be most appreciative.
Thanks..

If this is the wrong forum, could someone direct me to the right forum? thanks.

Math symbols not displaying in browser

I'm attempting to study for CLEP exams on Instacert's website and have encountered a problem with the math symbols not displaying correctly. I did the recommendations by the webmaster and tried Google Chrome, then Safari instead of Mozilla's Firefox, and I have downloaded the webmaster's suggested window's font (symbol.ttf), to no avail. He's not familiar with Apple at all, so he's no further help.
I have attached a screenshot of one of the pages not displaying the symbols correctly. As you can see, the math union and intersection symbols look foreign and some of the other math symbols are not correct in other web pages:
