(I had a feeling this was a duplicate, but couldn't find an older question about it. Forgive me if I'm just bad at searching.)

Consider the minimal example

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\usepackage{unicode-math}
\setmathfont{lmmath-regular.otf}
\begin{document}
\begin{equation*}
  \int f(x) \, \mathrm{d}x
\end{equation*}
\end{document}

When compiled with lualatex the space between the integral sign and f(x) is too large, larger than what I get if I compile with xelatex (or if I'm not using unicode-math).

  • With lualatex:

  • With xelatex:

  • Without unicode-math:

I'm using a recently updated TeXlive 2011, and the same thing happens with Asana-Math.otf or xits-math.otf as math font. Can this be corrected somehow?

Update 28-10-2015: This has been fixed in version 0.85 of LuaTeX, see http://tracker.luatex.org/view.php?id=488


Looks something wrong with italic correction of integrals in the absence of super or subscripts, adding an empty superscript \int^{} f(x) fixes the spacing. Odd enough, adding empty subscript \int_{} f(x) makes it even closer! I'd report this to luatex bug tracker.

    After tracking down the bug tracker, it seems you've reported this already, about a year ago: tracker.luatex.org/view.php?id=488 Dec 1, 2011 at 0:05

    I can confirm that this bug is still in TL2014. Is it going to be fixed anytime soon?

    @KhaledHosny, it also happens in TL2015. Sorry to say it, but it makes unicode-math pretty much useless for serious production work. Has no workaround been found yet?

    This, along with the incorrect positioning of sub-/superscripts for integral signs (tex.stackexchange.com/q/267062/51235, which is supposedly the same bug), really destroys any use unicode-math might have offered. Why is this issue being ignored?

    It is on TeX live now, and the spacing is fixed, but the subscripts look quite far from the integral sign. A new bug perhaps?
