There are some issues to consider: Line width The standard line width in TeX is 0.4pt, it is hardcoded in TeX as 26214sp. \overline uses a different line width. It is taken from font parameter 8 of math font family 3 in TeX. The standard math fonts (Computer Modern) are using 0.39998pt in all font sizes. But it is scalable in other fonts, e.g. package ...

Here is a plain TeX solution. The downside is, that \everymath is executed inside the "house". If you want every house to have the same height and depth, add a strut or a phantom inside it. \nopagenumbers% for cropping \def\house#1{{% \setbox0=\hbox{$#1$} \vrule height \dimexpr\ht0+1.4pt width .4pt depth \dp0\relax \vrule height ...

There are other font that can be used: MnSymbol: FdSymbol: TX fonts: PX fonts: cjhebrew: OpenType fonts (LuaTeX/XeTeX): Latin Modern Math: Asana Math: XITS Math: TeX Gyre Pagella Math: TeX Gyre Termes Math: Linux Libertine: GNU FreeFont/FreeSerif: GNU FreeFont/FreeSans: MnSymbol \documentclass{article} % ...

The command $\mu$ is a short version of \begin{equation*} \mu \end{equation*} which is normally used for longer formulas. If you want to typeset (short) formulas like μ, you should use the inline-math mode, i.e. This is an example text containing the greek letter $\mu$.

You could scale it (1.5x horizontal, 1.1x vertical). EDITED to work in all math styles (thanks, tohecz), and provided a slight vertical shift and kern for better matching. Lastly, enclosed in a group, so that it works directly in a subscript. \documentclass{article} \usepackage{scalerel} \let\oldaleph\aleph \def\aleph{{\ThisStyle{\scalebox{1.5}[1.1]{% ...

The following example defines \Rint that superimposes an R on the integral symbol. If the integral is used in \displaystyle, then the integral size is usually quite large and \textstyle is used for the R. Otherwise \scriptscriptstyle is used or scaled down, if the total height of R exceeds 40% of the total height of the integral. Remarks: The R is put in ...

Something like this? Code: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{amsmath} \newcommand{\doublerightharpoonup}{% \rightharpoonup\mkern-10mu\rightharpoonup% } \begin{document} $\overset{\doublerightharpoonup}{T}$ \end{document}
