Yes, always... But you are right to point the logical problem. In fact I have written things like this only to put the two 7 side by side. The real problem is this one (description of an algorithm...): \begin{longtable}{ccccc} \hline% \multicolumn{2}{|c||}{1\textsuperscript{st} step} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{} & \multicolumn{2}{||c|}{2\textsuperscript{nd} step}\\\hline\hline \rule{0pt}{15pt}1 & & 1 & $1\times 35 + 5 =$ & 40\\ 7 & $7\times 5 + 0 =$ & 35 & & 35\\ 5 & & 5 & & \\ 0 & & & & \end{longtable} I could have used array instead of longtable but, it is not handy to write "normal text" within the mathematical mode and I need to mix both... Ross has pointed the problem of spacing and shape of mathematical symbol (and some oher ones..): indeed \texttimes is not the same as $\times$ for instance. I was wondering if there would be some fonts feature like: [Numbers=OldStyle], one could imagine: [Numbers=MathNumbers] You have a lot of similar options if you use kpfonts. Unfortunately, these kpfonts do not work with xelatex and I need xelatex, to have Sanskrit texts (which I mix in my article) hyphenated... I don't know how to adapt the gloss-sanskrit.ldf file for a use with babel. Thanks for all these answers.
