Good! Amaya currently has a lot of mathematical constructions available, but
we're aware that the UI can be improved to become more convenient. All the
suggestion that can be made to achieve this goal is welcome.

I just tried on Linux and the symbol "subset" is displayed correctly. It is
certainly a font issue but I think Irčne can tell you more about that. For the
