Fonts in text and equations

Cuneyt Eroglu
Posted 5 years ago

I want to make two labels " a " and " a* ". I used Basic Math Pallete to write " a* " with a superscript asterisk. However, the following code gives me two different fonts even though I specify the same font for both. How can I have "a" appear in the same font (and style) as " a* " ?

enter image description here

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely, Cuneyt

Hi Gianluca and Shenghui,

Thank you both for your suggestions. They were very helpful. In the process, I also discovered that one could select text within quotation marks, right-click and convert to TraditionalForm.

When you type something at the exponent, Mathematica automatically switches to inline formula, which is typeset in italics.

Use SingleLetterItalics option in Style

Graphics[{
    Text["a",{0,1},BaseStyle->{FontFamily->"Times",FontSize-> 30}],
     Text[Style["a^*",SingleLetterItalics->False],{0.5,1},BaseStyle->{FontFamily->"Times",FontSize-> 30}]
},PlotRange->{{-0.5,1},{0.5,1.5}}]
