Text Formatting ⇒ tipa | Inverted Breve Accent in Math Mode

[juliette]

Hi,

In math mode \breve{x} gives me an x with a breve on top. However, to get an inverted breve on top, the only solution I could find was \textroundcap{x} using the tipa package. However, the x is now in roman font rather than in the math-style italics, so this x looks different from all the other x's in the equation.

Does anyone know how to get tipa symbols to appear with math style italics ? or an alternate way to get an inverted breve on top of a math symbol ?

I did also try \textroundcap{\textit{x}} , which fixes the font of the x, but makes it bigger than the x produced by \breve{x}. A picture of how it looks like is attached.


Thanks,
Juliette

You can use this idea:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T3,T1]{fontenc}
\DeclareSymbolFont{tipa}{T3}{cmr}{m}{n}
\DeclareMathAccent{\invbreve}{\mathalpha}{tipa}{16}

\begin{document}

\[ \invbreve{x} - \breve{x} \]

\end{document}
