Text Formatting

Jester · Post by **Jester** » Wed Sep 23, 2020 2:28 pm

As the title suggests, whenever I use an = sign in my latex the bottom line is incredibly faded (To the point that it is unviewable).

For example:
2 + 3 = 5
Will look like
2+ 3 - 5

What program am I using?
Overleaf

Any and all help in understanding this is greatly appreciated (I am new to typesetting in Latex and so this has completely stumped me)

Hi Jester,

welcome to the forum!

You did not get an answer, unfortunately, perhaps since you did not post an example code that shows the issue. Because LaTeX doesn't do it that way, as you can see here:

Code: Select all

\[
  2 + 3 = 5
\]

Or with browser PDF plugin instead of pdf.js:

Code: Select all

% !TEX pdf
\[
  2 + 3 = 5
\]

If you click on "Run LaTeX here" you can see the PDF output, there's no faded = sign. How did you write the code? For example, which fonts are you using? It could be a bad font. You could post your document preamble here.
