Re: [Maxima-discuss] How to set unicode characters for variables

[Richard F. <fa...@gm...>]

Just using a fixed-width font helps.
e.g.

(%i4) hbar: unicode("latin small letter h with stroke");
(%o4)                                  ħ
(%i5) 1/hbar * M;
                                   [ a  b ]
                                   [      ]
                                   [ c  d ]
(%o5)                              --------
                                      ħ
