The example formula in the article looks ugly. It looks like Microsoft Office doesn't support beautiful math formulas using TeX's typesetting engine and TeX's math fonts. https://www.mathjax.org/ https://www.mathjax.org/ can do it on the web.
- jahewson 9y agoHuh? The example formula looks great. I really can't fault it. I think maybe you just don't like the font, Cambria Math.
- cbreeden 9y agoDon't tell them that Microsoft developed the OpenType Math specification that LuaTeX uses.
- adrianratnapala 9y agoI don't particularly like the font, although I only really object to the theta. There are other nitpicks: The pi looks too italic to me, though I can't really say its wrong (whatever "wrong" means). The spacing between the integral sign and the integrand is too big -- but this is a common problem even in real LaTex. Overall, it looks decent but just not as nice as the maths that TeX has been pumping out for decades now.
- pmiller2 9y agoAs long as we're nitpicking, the d in front of the theta shouldn't really be italicizes, anyway. I'd class that more as an input error than an output error, though.
- jhanschoo 9y agoActually, many mathematics authors use an italic d while the upright d convention is standard in physics and engineering.
- adrianratnapala 9y agoIs that to disambiguate it from the upright d in exterior calculus? That would be funny, as that symbol was chosen specifically to overload with the traditional little-d notation from Leibniz.
- torrent-of-ions 9y agoThe square root denominator looks too low to me. It makes the whole thing look lopsided. The TeX version looks better to me: http://latex2png.com/output//latex_9c2d6d68604c4a04a90acc777e948878.png http://latex2png.com/output//latex_9c2d6d68604c4a04a90acc777...
