Workaround for font error \ [Conjugate] in the Mathematica linux interface

Mathematica version 8.0.1 has just been released and it has not fixed the bug that annoys me the most. This is a known bug and the promise of WRI to fix it "in a future version." Until they do, perhaps we will find a workaround.

The symbol \[Conjugate](which is entered using the shortcut โ‹ฎconjโ‹ฎ) was broken between versions 7 and 8 of Mathematica. In version 8, it does not appear, which leads to a lot of confusion when reading my old code. Compare two versions:

V7

V8


There are two options that I can think of:

  • , , \[Conjugate], , - . , WRI .
  • โ‹ฎconjโ‹ฎ ( SO), , * Conjugate[] - .. , \[Conjugate]. , , InterpretationBox ..

2 , .
