Vulgar (i like that more than Nice) Fraction again:
So, i need to satisy everyone,
\chardef\vulgarfractionmethod=3
\definehspace[vulgarfraction][.25em] % [.15em]
\definesymbol[vulgarfraction][/] % [\raise.2ex\hbox{/}]
\def\vulgarfraction#1#2%
{\dontleavehmode
\hbox
{\def\vulgarfraction{vulgarfraction}%
\ifcase\vulgarfractionmethod
#1\symbol[\vulgarfraction]#2%
\or
\high{\tx#1\kern-\hspaceamount\vulgarfraction}%
\symbol[\vulgarfraction]%
\low{\kern-\hspaceamount\vulgarfraction\tx#2}%
\or
\high{\tx#1}%
\hbox to \zeropoint{\hss\symbol[\vulgarfraction]\hss}%
\low{\tx#2}%
\or
\setbox0\hbox{\symbol[\vulgarfraction]}%
\setbox2\hbox{\txx57}%
\raise\ht0\hbox{\lower\ht2\hbox{\txx#1}}%
\hbox to \zeropoint{\hss\symbol[\vulgarfraction]\hss}%
\lower\dp0\hbox{\raise\dp2\hbox{\txx#2}}%
\fi}}
\ifx\vfrac\undefined \let\vfrac\vulgarfraction \fi
%D \starttabulate
%D \HL
%D \NC \bf method \NC \bf visualization \NC\NR
%D \HL
%D \NC 0 \NC \chardef\vulgarfractionmethod0\vulgarfraction{1}{2} \NC\NR
%D \NC 1 \NC \chardef\vulgarfractionmethod1\vulgarfraction{1}{2} \NC\NR
%D \NC 2 \NC \chardef\vulgarfractionmethod2\vulgarfraction{1}{2} \NC\NR
%D \NC 3 \NC \chardef\vulgarfractionmethod3\vulgarfraction{1}{2} \NC\NR
%D \HL
%D \stoptabulate
so, it's kind of configurable
