General ⇒ C++

Ah, may I ask one more: how can I make small, nice command, that prints C and "++" in actual font and size, just "++" is not that big, but still in center of "C"?
It is so nice to pretend, someone will answer! I just found this forum, lets see, what happen...

Simply enlarge the "++" with a switch for the font size.

Code: Select all

C{\large ++}

This should already match your ideas.

No, I meant smaller! And it displays not in center...

[localghost]

OK, obviously a misunderstanding. The switch for the font size goes in the other direction and the characters are raised a little bit above the base line.

Code: Select all

C\raisebox{1pt}{\small ++}

In case the "++" still has to be smaller, you may have to adapt the value for raising.

Try something like the \Cp command that I defined in the following example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\DeclareRobustCommand{\Cp}
	   {C\protect\raisebox{0.2ex}{\small ++}}

\begin{document}

C++

\Cp

\end{document}

Ok, that goes good as a quick solution, but it would be nice, that number for raisebox would be relative...

The solution provided by gmedina depends on the current font size and therefore is more universal hence preferable.

Hi,

here's a similar solution, perhaps you want to try it too at different sizes, shapes and font families:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{relsize}
\def\C++{%
\ifdim\fontdimen3\font=0pt C++%
\else C\kern-.16em\raise.35ex\hbox{\relsize{-2}{++}}\fi}

Thank you all. I see, that you answer quite soon and I like it!
