Hello Rene,

here's what I do (for simplicity using hsimple.C from the ROOT tutorials):

  1. First, I execute the script:

MacBookPro-2:Desktop anncecil$ root -l
root [0] .x hsimple.C
hsimple : Real Time = 3.81 seconds Cpu Time = 0.55 seconds Note: File "/sw/lib/root/libCore.so" already loaded (class TFile*)0x3b9f810
root [1]

2) Then, I choose View => Editor in the TCanvas

3) I click on, e.g., the y axis and get the yaxis::TAxis dialog box on the left in the TCanvas

4) I try to type E_{#gamma} in the Title but what I get is E_(#gamma) (normal parentheses)

To invoke the curly bracket, I type Alt+Shift+8. This works everywhere else where I have tried.
Is there another way to do it?

By the way, I now tried to copy and paste the text string "E_{#gamma}" into the Title box, but this
does not work either, it seems not to be possible to paste into this box.

Many thanks for helping!

Best regards,

Cecilie
