Math & Science ⇒ gap in the overrightarrow

[sam101981]

I've got a small gap in the arrow from the overrightarrow. Does anybody know how i can get rid off this gap with using the package MnSymbol?

Here is a minimal example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{MnSymbol}

\begin{document}
$\overrightarrow{PQ}$
\end{document}

Hi,

I've got a small gap in the arrow from the overrightarrow. Does anybody know how i can get rid off this gap with using the package MnSymbol?..

Have you tried printing the document to see if the gap is really there? I ask you because when I compiled your document and opened it using the default TeXwork's PDF viewer, I could see the gap; however, when I opened the PDF file using Evince, the gap was gone.

Hi!

Yes, I printed it and there is a small gap in the printed version too.
Any Surgestions?

Could you use the \vv command from the esvect package? It can be used alongside MnSymbol and provides a number of different choices for the style of the arrow (see documentation). I think the "a" option looks closest to the one in MnSymbol.

Here they are compared:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{MnSymbol}
\usepackage[a]{esvect}

\begin{document}

$\overrightarrow{PQ}$

\smallskip

$\vv{PQ}$
\end{document}

(P.S. I get the gap in the one from MnSymbol even in evince... perhaps a bug that should be brought up to the maintainer?)

I didn't know about the esvect package and I can use it. Works flawlessly for me, so problem solved.
Thank You!
