Problem

Symptoms: When in the equation editor, you can press Shift-F1, and then option 1 to tell WP you don't want to print the equation graphically. This works fine for text, such as a,b,c,etc., but WP will still print out the operators (+,=,-) graphically. I noticed this when I printed out a document where I changed the default in the equation editor to not print graphically and then printed my document. It printed out fine but, I noticed that the equal sign in the equation was different from an equal sign further down in my document (which of course is being pulled out of a character set). So I Pressed Shift-F7, and told WP to not print out any graphics and re-printed the document. This time the operators "+", and "=" did not print out. Solutions: As you mentioned, the Equation Editor uses a character set to print "+" (6,226) and "=" (6,228). Even though you change the print to graphics option to no, WP will still look to automatic font changes and substitute fonts to print the character, and if not found will print the character as a graphic. This is the way the programmers designed the feature to work. I will enter a question to the testers as to why they are using character set 6 instead of character set 0.
