Is there a way to raise the position of binary relations and operators by a set amount, so that =,+,-, etc. is raised a little bit without explicit markup?
For instance, in the following example, most probably due to the fact that this font was not designed for professional math typesetting in the first place, < and = look too low to my eyes:
% !TeX program = xelatex
\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\usepackage{mathspec}
\setmainfont{Helvetica Neue}
\setsansfont{Helvetica Neue}
\setmathfont(Latin,Digits)
[Scale=MatchLowercase,Uppercase=Regular,Lowercase=Regular]{Helvetica Neue}
\begin{document}
\[
A>B>C=D
\]
\end{document}
I really hate to have to use Helvetica (and in upright shape!) for typesetting math, but unfortunately I have no choice in this matter.
If raising the math axis is not possible or creates more problems than it may solve, I am also open to other suggestions.
\sum
are centered with respect to the math axis. – egreg Mar 2 '17 at 21:14
