The em size of MMTimes is a little narrower than that of Times. So there might be some layout reflow if you used some space values based on em size. If this is a problem for you please contact customer support team.

  • Fixed: The circle size of variable integrals(entered with shift key pressed) was smaller than regular integral's.
  • Fixed: The double or triple variable O-integrals did not have correct width of the circle.

  • Fixed: Line spacing Increase/Decrease button on Main toolbar now refers to its original unit, rather than Display Unit.
  • Fixed: Subscript box location displayed wrong when inserted from Useritem toolbar.
