Wrong position of the vcentered minus sign in subscript using stix2












5















Is there any way to place minus sign at the same height as the horizontal bar of the plus without using raisebox?



documentclass{article}

usepackage{stix2}

begin{document}
( I_{avcenter{hbox{$scriptscriptstyle+$}}}^{alpha} )

( I_{avcenter{hbox{$scriptscriptstyle-$}}}^{alpha} )
end{document}

  • In my opinion, it is not good to place the minus symbol like that.

The result is somewhat expected, because the bounding box of the minus sign is tight; in the standard Computer Modern fonts it is instead the same as for the + sign.
