Hi,
in LaTeX-mode, I have tried in vain to suppress the seemingly default formatting of superscript and subscript command in math mode, such as $x^2$ which raises visually the “2”. I have tried several configurations already but I am still unable to suppress this behavior. The whole point of Emacs for me is to *not* have any of these features in my editing windows, otherwise I would use Word or something …
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best
So far in my .emacs file I have all of the following, nothing works:
;; super-/sub-script on baseline
(setq font-latex-script-display (quote (nil)))
(global-prettify-symbols-mode -1)
(add-hook 'latex-mode-hook (lambda () (prettify-symbols-mode -1)))
;; Disable AUCTeX automatic features
(setq TeX-auto-save nil)
(setq TeX-parse-self nil)
(setq font-latex-fontify-script nil)
(eval-after-load 'font-latex
'(setq font-latex-fontify-script nil)) ;; Disable subscript/superscript fontification
(setq latex-unicode-math-mode nil)

For AUCTeX, customize `font-latex-script-display' to '(nil).
For built-in latex-mode, customize `tex-font-script-display' to '(0 0).

Oh, I missed that you had tried this in your init file:
(setq font-latex-script-display (quote (nil)))
I tested my suggestion by using the Customize UI and it worked for me.
Does it also fail for you when you use the Customize UI or alternatively
using `setopt' instead of `setq' in your init file?

I didn't try the Custom UI, but
(setq font-latex-script-display nil)
works for me which is different from
(setq font-latex-script-display '(nil))

That also works for me.

But in fact that works for me, too, so I don't know why it apparently
doesn't work for the OP.

One possibility that occurs to me (but I haven't tested it) is that, if
the setq is evaluated in the init file before AUCTeX is loaded, then it
may be overwritten when AUCTeX is loaded.

My apologies, I meant to say that this form:
(setq font-latex-fontify-script nil)
works for me and disables the raising/lowering of super/subscripts. I
don't touch `font-latex-script-display'.
I think the OP should tell us which AUCTeX version he's using and how he
installed it. Maybe that helps debugging.
Best, Arash

This shouldn't happen:
(progn
(setq my/foo nil)
(defcustom my/foo t "My foo")
my/foo)
=> nil
`defcustom' doesn't overwrite the value of a variable which is the
default behavior of `defvar':
,----[ C-h f defvar RET ]
| defvar is a special-form in ‘C source code’.
|
| (defvar SYMBOL &optional INITVALUE DOCSTRING)
|
| Define SYMBOL as a variable, and return SYMBOL.
| You are not required to define a variable in order to use it, but
| defining it lets you supply an initial value and documentation, which
| can be referred to by the Emacs help facilities and other programming
| tools.
|
| If SYMBOL’s value is void and the optional argument INITVALUE is
| provided, INITVALUE is evaluated and the result used to set SYMBOL’s
| value. [...]

Thank you for your help. I reinstalled auctex and cleaned what was probably conflicting and improper settings in .emacs. This now works with
(setq font-latex-fontify-script nil)
