The vertical distance that sub- or superscripted text is moved from the original baseline varies by typeface and by use. medium or bold typography) than a reduced-size character would be.
In professional typography, subscript and superscript characters are not simply ordinary characters reduced in size to keep them visually consistent with the rest of the font, typeface designers make them slightly heavier (i.e. Subscripts and superscripts are perhaps most often used in formulas, mathematical expressions, and specifications of chemical compounds and isotopes, but have many other uses as well.
Subscripts appear at or below the baseline, while superscripts are above. It is usually smaller than the rest of the text. The second typeface is Myriad Pro the superscript is about 60% of the original characters, raised by about 44% above the baseline.)Ī subscript or superscript is a character (such as a number or letter) that is set slightly below or above the normal line of type, respectively. (The top typeface is Adobe Garamond Pro the size of the subscript is about 62% of the original characters, dropped below the baseline by about 16%. In each example the first "2" is professionally designed, and is included as part of the glyph set the second "2" is a manual approximation using a small version of the standard "2." The visual weight of the first "2" matches the other characters better. It then all looked good after that.Example of subscript and superscript. Since my paper is written in size 10 font, I had to tell MathType to use a size 10 font. Instead, you have to tell Eqeuation Editor (or MathType, which I use) to load the appropriate font for its symbols. They will be displaced on the line you insert them on. In order to get inline equations to look right, you cannot simple make them smaller. Unfortunately, it does not space the characters very well and ends up looking not as good as the inserted Equation Editor images. You can select up to six letters, and will take those six letters and put 3 on top and 3 on the bottom-basically doing subscript and superscript at the same time. I did find another intersting feature of word called "combine letters". It just means that while looking at the document via Word, it gets chopped off. Luckly, I printed out a copy and terms in the printed out copy look fine. However, this crops the upper and lower portions of the inline equation, which makes parts of the subscripts get chopped off. This is fixxed by setting the paragraph format to "exactly 12" instead of "single". The biggest problem with putting the equations inline into my document is that it messes up the spacing, as Anubis 2 points out. Using Equation editor, I have found a solution that works (though is somewhat slow given I have many of these terms in my paper).
