And they're not clearly visible - the gray letters end up with most of the pixels light gray and a few of them darker. Unfortunately neither I nor Juri were able to reproduce this on our (non-Windows) systems. Is there an Emacs developer who works on Windows who could look into this? Is there a way to set a minimum font size for suscripts? Looking at tex-mode.el, it seems that faces named `subscript' and `superscript' are used for this. By default, they are defined like this (both are just the same except for the name): (defface subscript '((t :height 0.8)) ;; :raise -0.3 "Face used for subscripts." :group 'tex) The :height is presumably what makes it proportional to the next "level" up. So perhaps it would work to override these definitions by changing those faces -- using customize is probably easiest -- to use an absolute font size. Best, Karl
