Align vector symbol with upright math letter
Multi tool use
So basically I need to put a vector symbol (vec
) on an upright letter for which I use mathrm
in math mode. For example:
vec{mathrm{E}}
While Katex seems to get the alignment right on all the letters:
My pdfTeX version doesn't do so well (using the same code):
Clearly the vector symbol is positioned such that it would be aligned if the letters were in italic mode.
Which leads me to the following question:
- How can I get the vector symbol aligned with the upright math letter using pdfTeX?
pdfTeX version
$ pdflatex --version
pdfTeX 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.16 (TeX Live 2015/Debian)
kpathsea version 6.2.1
Document setup
documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{scrartcl}
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
usepackage{amsmath}
Complete example

The glyph used for thevec
accent is indeed tailored for best results with italic letters, as the shape of the arrow itself shows. Katex is not a TeX engine, so it can't be used for comparison. Beware thattextrm
is the wrong command in that context, usemathrm
