Math & Science ⇒ Vector Arrow misaligned

[josef]

hi!

I have the following problem in math mode:

$\vec{u}$, due to the italics in math mode, sets the arrow slightly to the right over the u.

The problem is that with $\vec{1}$, the 1 is upright, but the arrow is set again slightly to the right, which looks ugly.

Is there a simple way to have the arrow centered over the 1?

thanks,

Josef

Hi Josef,

welcome to the board!
An easy workaround could be to add some space, like

Code: Select all

$\vec{\mskip\thinmuskip 1}$

Thanks, Stefan!

this looks much better than anything I tried out!

I have the impression though that when used in superscript it looks different from normal text... but no-one will probably recognize this but me

again, thanks alot!
