comment Setting OperatorSubstitution to False has issues with PDF and EPS exports. Are these bugs?
Could this be an issue with the font? I can't replicate the PDF export problem on Windows using Verdana, Consolas or Vivaldi: it definitely uses the selected font for operators and the custom Mathematica fonts are not used. And I have never had this problem on my Mac at home. I have Mathematica 9 on both machines. Maybe try Consolas for the time being?

comment from complex function to a series
After tidying up your expression and using FullSimplify on it, I get zero. Is that what you expected?

Plus @@@ (data^2). Power is Listable.

comment Predictive code completion and custom functions in contexts
@wolfies - I just checked, and after implementing halirutan's solution, yes, both (a) and (b) work for my custom functions. Well, I get a "file not found" error when I try to open documentation pages that don't exist, but it works other than that :)

@wolfies I can't answer this as I haven't yet written the function help pages.

comment How can I fix Mathematica's text line-breaking algorithm not to line-break so soon?
@RolfMertig - unfortunately adding LaTeX into this system is not going to fly with the users. I just want to wrap text in a text box the way any other program would do.

comment How can I fix Mathematica's text line-breaking algorithm not to line-break so soon?
Thanks - I had tried some very high numbers but perhaps hadn't been comprehensive enough. The documented numbers are all pretty low. Is this algorithm based on the one in TeX? If so, that would be worth including in your answer.

@PlatoManiac I'll try to get to it tonight.

comment build and estimate a time series process
To be fair, that notebook on Verbeia.com is very old - probably version 4 vintage. @PlatoManiac - how come you remember what is on my web site better than I do?

comment StreamPlot in Polar Coordinates
Thanks Andre, although the other one was posted first, I've marked it as the duplicate and this one as the canonical version.

If you have version 8 or higher, look up RicattiSolve‌​, KalmanEstimator and the general guide to control systems in the documentation.

comment Are you interested in purchasing David Wagner's “Power programming with Mathematica”?
I can confirm that I have the notebooks and other files from the floppy. They open fine. Subject to us having permission to distribute the files, I am happy to host them on Verbeia.com. (I don't have a dropbox account, and anyway, the length of time I've hosted Ted Ersek's material shows that I'm a reliable host.)

This applies to Windows-based filenames in standard Mathematica functions like SetDirectory. Hit that one today myself.

comment Stop use of scientific notation when displaying FrameTicks
Ok, I will edit for somethimg more precise. The issue with the tick length occurs because they are specified as fractions of the plot length.
