Hi Rene,
The problem probably is that in Latex one types $\Delta E$ which
gives a Delta followed by an E without spaces in between.
In ROOT it seems to me that #Delta E is interpreted as $\Delta$ E
where there is a space in between the Delta and the E.
A solution could be to adopt also the $..$ notation in ROOT to
switch to 'formula mode'. This would mean in the above case
entering the text as $#Delta E$ would give a Delta followed by
an E without a space in between.
As far as I can see this would mean no change to the ROOT functionality
but only an extension to the TLatex class.
Cheers,
Nick.
