KFormula -- Missing Some Features?

To test out KFormula I thought that it would be a good idea to try and write out an approximation of the gamma function (Toth's formula), something which I found very easy to do in the Microsoft Equation Editor. A reference rendering of the formula can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/math/d/e/f/def68…dcc51c29c2f.png However, while trying to write it out I was missing the '=' sign with the '~' above it and the pi (?) symbol also looked rubbish (more like a product to me). Has anyone else had any luck writing this formula in kforuma?

RE: KFormula -- Missing Some Features?

That's a nice test case 8)

Unfortunately, I didn't succeed in entering the formula correctly. However, the ~ over = is somewhat solvable. Type a = character, select it and select the toolbar button which shows a little square right above the big character. This allows you to type a ~ above the =.

Yes, I have found the '=' with a '~' on top with a '/' through it in the drop down menu (ncong). The character I want is unicode U+2245 and can is part of the font 'Times' so it would be possible to implement it. Does KFormula have a feature request section? As it is a feature that I would like to see it have.

Thanks, I will put up a request for it. KOffice rivals or even beats Microsoft Office in many areas, but the equation editor is something that I am having a hard time replacing, KFormula is the closes thing to it so far but I still find myself going into windows just to use the editor and then saving my formula as a PDF. But I want to break free from Windows as much as possible.
