Hello all,
I am looking for a macro to print the fractions inside texts.
Yes, there is a macro called \frac on page 311 of TeXbook, but
with that macro, you always get a fixed font (\scriptfont0)
for the fractional part, which looks quite awefull when you use
more than one font for text.
To overcome this problem, I incorporate the \scriptfont0
definition to the font definition. For example, to use
cmr12 and cmss12 for my texts, I write,
\font\cmrText = cmr12
\font\cmrFrac = cmr8
\def\cmrTwelve{\cmrText\scriptfont0 = \cmrFrac}
\font\cmssText = cmss12
\font\cmssFrac = cmss8
\def\cmssTwelve{\cmssText\scriptfont0 = \cmssFrac}
But I don't like this approach because whenever you want to use
a new font, you have got to go through the process of defining
the `fraction' font for it.
Could anybody please suggest a better way of using this macro
or a new macro to handle fractions?
Thanks in advance,
--
