embedded subscripts / superscripts

embedded subscripts / superscripts

[metcalfe]

I just upgraded to emacs-22.  When editing a (La)TeX file, it displays
subscripts and superscripts as such.  I'm having trouble, however,
with embedded sub/superscripts such as:
   \[ \|u\|_{L^p_tL^q_x} \]
In the above formula, the p,t,q,x are displayed in a very washed out,
nearly unreadable color.  Can somebody please advise how to set the
color for embedded sub/superscripts?  I was hoping to be able to avoid
turning off the rendering as raised/lowered text and/or changing the
background color so I can see the light color.

BTW, this is in the standard TeX mode (no AucTeX).

Thanks in advance.

AFAIK those should appear in the normal color.  What does happen, tho, is
that (sub|super)script are shown smaller (about 0.8 times the normal size)
and subscripts of subscripts are yet smaller (i.e. 0.64 times the size),
etc... so maybe it's not the color but just the small size.

In any case, do C-u C-x = on one of the problematic chars and then click on
the `face' property.
