I've noticed that a vector arrow over the letter b is always very bad looking when b is followed by a closing parenthesis. It looks that this is a unavoidable uglyness... someone got some clue about how to avoid that? In the MWE you can see that in both () and \left( \right) the aesthetics is ruined no matter what...

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}


$$
(\vec{b})\qquad\left(\vec{b}\right)
$$


\end{document}

enter image description here In example: \((\vec{a}\cdot\vec{b})\) it is horrible! And if the letter is a "d" the result is worse.

    I suggest \vec{b}\,) – egreg Sep 18 '22 at 15:07

    note article doesn't have a 14pt option, so this is 10pt, and $$ should not be used in latex. I would use the first form, or possibly add a \, before ) – David Carlisle Sep 18 '22 at 15:07
  • Thanx both! I took out the [14pt] in the example since it is totally irrelevant. I think this has something to do with the encoding itself and for sure the notorious solution of adding a space is not really elegant (but still somehow hels). – P. Oliva Sep 18 '22 at 15:12

    There's an answer here that may help with centering the vector arrow, especially over d's. – frabjous Sep 18 '22 at 15:43
