In many "less-rigorous" uses of equations, there is an abundant need
to include words (text) in mathematics, and using \mathtext{} or \mbox{}
or whatever is unwieldy.
Readable subscripts, self-explanatory variable names, etc. might be
text and not symbols. These situations can be very common.
Hi Alan, Wolfgang and Hans Åberg,
As far as I am concerned, when I have to add a text to a math formula I use
\mbox, as in the example
\startformula
A := \left\{f : {\Bbb R}^2 \longrightarrow {\Bbb R} \; ; \; f \mbox{ is
measurable and } \int_{{\Bbb R}^2}|f(x)|dx < \infty \right\}.
Hi Alan,
1. The correct way to use \mathrm is {\mathrm ...} because it is a
switch like \rm for text mode.
2. \mathrm is the wrong method to write text in formulas because the
command changes only the math alphabet. This means no ligatures, kerning
or other characters like umlauts.
3. The

normalizes the figure to a square. This will not be changed as it is a
very old feature of MetaFun.
The solution is
draw
