I want to change the sizes of sub- and superscripts of formulas as their font size is already set to \scriptsize. Is there a way to decrease the font size of all formulas written in \scriptsize by predefining the size in the preamble?

Thanks!

  • If you're going to change the size of script style material, shouldn't you also change the size of scriptscript style material? – Mico May 06 '17 at 15:35
  • Untested: \let\scriptsize\tiny ??? But the size of \scriptsize is small already –  May 06 '17 at 15:35
  • @ChristianHupfer That unfortunately didn't work. – Skydiver May 06 '17 at 15:36
  • In what sense did it not work? – JPi May 06 '17 at 15:44
  • @JPi It didn't do nothing at all. – Skydiver May 06 '17 at 15:46
  • You can change the math sizes with \DeclareMathSizes, but \scriptsize is already very small, and I doubt that smaller subscripts are readable -- I at least wouldn't be able to do it. – Ulrike Fischer May 06 '17 at 15:49
  • The math script size is defined as being a fraction: \def\defaultscriptratio{.7} within latex.ltx. You can redefine it and use \calculate@math@sizes afterwards, but if there's no font supporting that size you're out of luck –  May 06 '17 at 15:50
  • @ChristianHupfer How exactly would that look like written out? – Skydiver May 06 '17 at 15:51
  • \makeatletter \renewcommand{\defaultscriptratio}{.5} \renewcommand{\defaultscriptscriptratio}{.3} \calculate@math@sizes \makeatother -- but I don't recommend it at all –  May 06 '17 at 15:54
