Fix ugly kerning in equation subscript










11















I'm beautifying some HW solutions for the upcoming semester, and came across a kerning issue



documentclassarticle
usepackageamsmath
begindocument
[C_in C_out C_eff]

enddocument


The output:



enter image description here



The "in" and "out" subscripts look fine, but "eff" seems very spread out. Is there a quick fix?

    That’s because the eff is interpreted as e times f times f, and the same goes for in and out. So you should either use the mathit by @Sebastiano in the answer, or mathrm, or text, etc.

In math-mode you should to use mathit... (slanted} or mathbf... (bold) or normal mathrm... for any type of the text into math formula.

    +1 I would recommend mathrm since eff is rather a label (short for effective) and not a variable (e times f times f). At least this is the convention that I am aware of.

    Alternatively, you can use text from the amsmath package. But there are different opinions about this: tex.stackexchange.com/questions/70632

    Another alternative, operatorname, is good if you ever need to set in, out or eff next to some other identifier. That formats and spaces it like the word log or sin.
