The appearance of double sub/superscripts is extremely horizontally squished. For example, x^{2^{k^\alpha+1}}
yields
I would like to create a custom font that "squishes" the k^\alpha+1
horizontally. For example,
\newcommand{\mycustomsize}[1]{\scalebox{0.9}[1]{$\scriptscriptstyle #1$}}
$x^{2^{\mycustomsize{k^\alpha+1}}}$
yields
which looks better in my opinion. How can I do this automatically, and for arbitrary scaling (say I wanted to make double superscripts extremely wide, or smaller in size but with the same scaling as \normalsize)? Something like
\makeatletter
\DeclareMathSizes{\@xipt}{\@xipt}{7}{4}
\makeatother
does not work, since what I want to change is how the default fonts scale.
+
should be square and have both strokes the same width. Your version has neither of those properties.\scriptscriptsize
by doing a general scaling of\normalsize
, like\scalebox{0.6}{$\normalsize ...$}
. The example I gave above isn't that good.\DeclareMathSizes{10}{10}{7}{6}
