I am writing a solution to a geometry exercise. I use $AB$ for the length of the line, or arc, from A to B. This results in a larger than desired spacing between the two characters. I can 'fix' it with $A\!B$ for every line or arc in my solution. (I am using both inline and display math.) Is there a 'nicer' or more global way of achieving this?
Inside math all letters are treated as individual math variables, so some predefined space will come by default, better to use \mathit
, where you want to treat as normal text with italic...
PS: Note that it is helpful if you provide a MWE
of what you tried, then will check the possibility to fix this issue in some other way...(if possible :-) )

, probably a good idea to make it a macro – daleif Jun 11 '19 at 6:00$A\!B$
is awfully bad. Can you please show an example of what you're doing? Just for information, the space between letters in$\mathit{AB}$
is slightly bigger than the space in$AB$
(where the letters are slightly wider, though). – egreg Jun 13 '19 at 9:13
