File>New>Formula

In the blank formula, type font and press return. The display shows the "not
superset or equal" symbol twice, one stacked on top of the other.

Linux Mandrake 9.0

"font" is a reserved to be used only in specific context e.g.
  font sans "abc"
  font serif "abc"
  font fixed "abc"

If you like to have the word 'font' displayed put it in double 
quotes "font" in order to make it a text string that gets not 
interpreted.

TL->MRU: please check and confirm.

While I agree that certain words may be reserved, and quite rightly
so, their accidental incorrect use shouldn't in my opinion throw up
replacement formula symbols, since this leads to user confusion. Or if
they do, then there should be a mention somewhere in the help that the
unwarranted or accidental misuse of reserved words will lead to
peculiar results. I don't think the help has anything like that yet.

The only reason I came across this is because I was trying to change
the font atribute on an existing formula and accidentally pressed
return after having typed font, so I think that its something that can
quite likely happen to others.

Tl->Alex: What should have been displayed is two red upside down "?" 
instead. One for each missing aspect of the font command.
Example: font sans "aa"
Missing sans produces one and the missing "aa" the second one.

Since the number of symbols and color is correct it may be a 
font/character matching problem.

TL->HDU: Please comment.

The problem doesn't appear any more in my latest download of beta 1.1.
