Here’s how it works: The following were all produced by creating an equation in the normal way, then selecting the whole equation and changing its format to “Normal Text” (on the Equation Tab). I love the new equation editor, but I agree that it’s a pain that Microsoft only has one “math font.” (Cambria Math) There’s been a lot of discussion about getting the new Equation Editor to render in different fonts. I’m not sure it’s what I would always want to do, but if you really, really need a particular font, this will work (for a powerpoint or for a poster or some other one-off application). Thanks to a very nice blog commenter, I now know that there is a nice little work-around if you desperately want an equation in a certain font.

Either way, I’ll raise a glass to another 300 posts! Posted in Math Education, Math on the web, Math Resources, Microsoft Equation Editor, RM, The Blog | Leave a reply Microsoft Equation Editor math font hack Thanks for randomly walking with me over these last few years (though, some say it’s a “drunken walk” □ ). And of course, my Random Walk Mural that just went up in the back of my classroom this summer! Check out the link for a video documentary about how it was made.Some of my favorite resources I’ve created: Halloween Calculus Worksheet, Challenge Problems, Guess who!, Theory of Knowledge Lecture.Visitors to our school: Glen Whitney, James Tanton, Matthew Wright.Rants: Rationalization Rant, Teaching domain and range incorrectly.Misconceptions: PEMDAS problems, Do irrational roots come in pairs?, Asymptote misconceptions.Philosophical posts about education: Why Calculus still belongs at the top, Patient problem solving, In defense of Calculus, One thing that makes my class unique.For some reason a lot of people find this post about TI-Emulators and this post is linked from a lot of teacher course pages.I’m pretty handy with LaTeX, too, so I did a comparison in this post.

Many people complain that Cambria Math is the only available font, so I pointed you to other math fonts and work-arounds. I didn’t get it all out of my system and had to say more here. Posts about the new Microsoft Equation Editor: I’m a huge fan of the new equation editor in Microsoft Office and I’ve posted numerous times about its features, the first one here.If you’ve missed them, now’s your chance to check them out:
