The use of the additional subscript 1 on s below adversely affects the spacing afterwards:

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}


Actual:
$\begin{array}{l}
f_{s_1}(x) \
f_{s}(x)
\end{array}$ \


Desired:
$\begin{array}{l}
f_{s_1}\hspace{-0.13em}(x) \
f_{s}(x)
\end{array}$


\end{document}

I’ve tried this with other fonts and the problem doesn’t seem to be specific to article or the fonts in use here. Is there is a convenient way to “fix” this?

(I don’t believe this question is related.)

  • It is also worth noting that the formatting on the “1” itself is also troublesome (it’s too big), so perhaps there are multiple interacting problems here. – Roly Jun 01 '21 at 14:47
  • Your \hspace solution seems to work fine, but \! also provides a "negative space". – Nate Oct 01 '23 at 23:28
