SUMMARY

The discussion centers on issues with Scientific Workplace software where specific symbols, such as hbar, do not display correctly on personal computers but appear properly on school computers. Users report that the software is accessed through a school website, and despite having the correct symbols installed, they are replaced with incorrect characters like a target symbol. The problem persists even when using the designated symbol buttons within the software. This indicates a potential configuration or compatibility issue with the local installation of Scientific Workplace.

Hello everyone!

My teacher for quantum requires us to write up our homeworks using scientific workplace. We access the software through our schools website and login. I have downloaded the program and I can use it on my computer through the internet.

When I type in symbols hbar for example, comes up as a target symbol and so on and so forth.

Other students have simply adjusted to the symbols but I think there must be some kind of way to fix this glitch. The symbols appear properly on the school computers, and print properly from the school computers, but appear different on our computers.

Any help? Has anyone else experienced this?

Here is some more information.

The software has the right symbols in it, but when I even click the hbar button shown in this photo is comes up as a target sign. Really weird.
