I discovered yesterday that the lmodern font has some size problems with maths symbols (most notably the parenthesis and integral signs), especially when the font size used is 11pt . Loading that font with a nomath option solves this:
\usepackage[nomath]{lmodern}
I was using lmodern in almost all ...

What is the default value of \abovedisplayskip?
Here's a not so MWE to show my problem and why I use the macros defined above to solve it after a first compilation:
\documentclass[11pt,letterpaper,twoside]{book}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[french]{babel}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage ...

What is the default value of \abovedisplayskip?
I do use the amsmath package (and about a dozen of other maths packages as well). I don't understand the uses of \abovedisplayshortskip . What does it do?
I need all my equations to have a fixed constant space between the text above and under them. I hate variable spaces around equations. In my ...

What is the default value of \abovedisplayskip?
I've found this solution, using \begingroup ... \endgroup , instead of using the macros defined above:
\begingroup\abovedisplayskip=0pt
\begin{equation}
y = x
\end{equation}
\endgroup
But then, how can I create a simple macro to simplify this solution, instead of typing all the extra code each ...

What is the default value of \abovedisplayskip?
The following problem is pretty simple (if not straightforward), and I don't think it needs a MWE.
In a document, I defined two macros like this:
\newcommand*{\topless}{\setlength{\abovedisplayskip}{0pt}}
\newcommand*{\topmore}{\setlength{\abovedisplayskip}{11pt}}
The first macro is used to ...

What should be the natural spacement between equations?
Johannes,
what I'm asking is that all the equations in a given math environment (gather and align) are equaly spaced vertically. I want to get this equal vertical spacing for all align and gather environments. If an equation is really bigger than some other, I'll put it in a separate environment ...

What should be the natural spacement between equations?
Here's a MWE showing my troubles:
\documentclass[11pt,letterpaper,twoside]{book}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage{amsmath}
%\setlength{\jot}{\baselineskip}
\begin{document}
Blabla:
\begin{gather}
x^2 - \frac{1}{2} \, x = 3, \\
\frac{a^2}{b^3} \, y + 2 x \, y = y^2, \\
a - b = c.
\end ...

What should be the natural spacement between equations?
Well, I now have another point of view that I would like to try.
Before, I was using fixed spaces like \\[6pt] , \\[12pt] , \\[18pt] and even \\[24pt] (depending on the size and "type" of equations), for equations in a 12pts font document .
I hate it when LaTeX change the spacements to adapt ...

I guess you mean

What should be the natural spacement between equations?
Well, that's not very specific. I'm already asking how to do this properly!
Do you have a suggestion code? I tried using \\, but the spacing is way to short (and variable). Using \\ \\ gives some spacing troubles too.
