BBEdit tells me that there are 1915 instances of “f $” in that 200 page document, 1307 of which come from “of $” and 533 of which come from “if $”. Unfortunately, I’m not knowledgeable enough to search for these strings only within theorem environments. I don’t know how to do that, let alone do a search and replace like “f $” —> “f\/ $” only within theorem environments. Since the \/ seems to have no effect unless the “f $” is within a theorem environment, I suppose I could do a search and replace on all 1915 instances of “f $”, but that could look a little messy in the .tex code. </font></div><div class=""><font color="#000000" face="Utopia-Regular" class=""><br class=""></font></div><div class=""><font color="#000000" face="Utopia-Regular" class="">And there may be letters other than f that are problematical (depending on the font), but it appears that f seems to be by far the worst culprit.</font></div><div class=""><font color="#000000" face="Utopia-Regular" class=""><br class=""></font></div><div class=""><font color="#000000" face="Utopia-Regular" class="">Richard<br class=""></font><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Mar 31, 2022, at 7:00 AM, Jonathan Fine <<a href="mailto:jfine2358@gmail.com" class="">jfine2358@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class="">Hi Richard<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Have you tried using italic correction?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><a href="https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/93961/how-does-italic-correction-work" class="">https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/93961/how-does-italic-correction-work</a><br class=""></div><div class=""><a href="https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/19298/contradiction-in-a-texbook-example" class="">https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/19298/contradiction-in-a-texbook-example</a><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">best wishes</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Jonatha</div><div class=""><br class=""></div></div>
