Very clear !
In typography for Mathematics books, what choice should we make for the best
possible result ?
A question better answered by Mikael or Aditya!
Thank you for your trust, Wolfgang. I am not sure I have something
valuable to say in addition to Adityas suggestion \frac{1/3} in inline
math. In any case, I attach a passage, with suggestions inspired by
Lansburgh's book (iin Swedish). Not sure the file size makes it
through to the list, though.
Thank you!
I usually only need simple inline fractions like 1/n, 1/2 or 3/8 in text.
With these and \frac, the spacing below the numerator (depth) is too
big, while the denominator sticks too tightly to the fraction bar.
(Of course I use regular numbers for fractions, not mediaeval.)
Usually I’d prefer “vulgar fractions”, but \vulgarfraction looks
“horrible” in comparison to the few usual fractions contained in fonts
(like ½ & ¾).
I tried to use the OpenType fraction features to no avail.
So I’m still looking for “the best” solution for simple fractions inline.
