I'm having some issues with the sansmathfonts large operators. The code

\documentclass{article} 

% \usepackage{amsmath}
% \usepackage{sansmathfonts}

\begin{document}

abc $\displaystyle\int$ \footnotesize abc $\displaystyle\int abc$

\end{document}

with both packages commented out yields

The letters are indeed smaller, but the integral remains the same. This can be "fixed" by loading amsmath

However, when loading also sansmathfonts the problem comes back

I gave a look at omxcmssex.fd but things like \DeclareFontShape are sadly still quite a mystery to me...

The problem is very similar to Ugly alignment (size of square root symbol) with Latin Modern at 12pt

Declare the OMX font to be scalable instead of “fixed”.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{sansmathfonts}


\DeclareFontFamily{OMX}{cmssex}{}
\DeclareFontShape{OMX}{cmssex}{m}{n}{
  <-7.5> cmssex7
  <7.5-8.5> cmssex8
  <8.5-9.5> cmssex9
  <9.5-> cmssex10
}{}


\begin{document}


abc $\displaystyle\int abc$ \footnotesize abc $\displaystyle\int abc$


\end{document}

UPDATE 2019-06-12

The 2019-06-10 release of sansmathfonts fixes the issue. Now, with

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{sansmathfonts}


\begin{document}


abc $\displaystyle\int abc$ \footnotesize abc $\displaystyle\int abc$


\end{document}

you get the same output as above.

  • I actually suspected that and I'm pretty sure I had tried that out... – campa Jun 06 '19 at 11:13
  • @campa The difference is “been there, done that”. ;-) – egreg Jun 06 '19 at 11:19
  • @campa Actually something better can be done. Added the available sizes. – egreg Jun 06 '19 at 11:24
  • @egreg is that an issue in one of the sansmathfonts? because I did get the maintainer to update all the associated fd files. I can write the maintainer to get this updated. – daleif Jun 06 '19 at 12:04
  • @daleif It uses <->sfixed*cmssex10. – egreg Jun 06 '19 at 12:06
  • @egreg should it be gen instead of sfixed*? or should it be like you did in your answer? – daleif Jun 06 '19 at 13:43
  • @daleif With gen you only get fixed sizes; it was useful in the olden times, when pk files were necessary. Nowadays it doesn't seem appropriate. One can discuss ad libitum about the intervals. – egreg Jun 06 '19 at 13:52
  • @egreg I'll ask the maintainer to make them in the same manner as the others when they we changed, accompanied wiht the OPs MWE. – daleif Jun 06 '19 at 14:02
  • @daleif It's not the first time I had issues with sansmathfonts. That time I contacted the maintainer personally. I believe she'll remember me :-) – campa Jun 06 '19 at 15:12

    @campa I had the maintainer update the fd files a few months ago, but apparently missed that one. I think this font works a lot better with beamer than the normal beamer math setup – daleif Jun 06 '19 at 16:47
  • @campa You'll be glad to know that the new version of sansmathfonts fixes the issue. – egreg Jun 12 '19 at 17:50
