STIX for book/journal printing

[pvklat...@gmail.com]

Dear TeX experts,

Could you share your experience on STIX latex production.

As I got the initial struggle "math variables" which has more space compare than mathtimes.

E.g. here 'I' has more glyphs space looks more gap between I and f. Please advise.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{stix}

\begin{document}

$I_f$ ..... This is my test.

\end{document}

regards

Are you bound to 'stix' for some reason (opentype features, luatex
engine)? If not, give 'newtx' a try. It's also a flavor of Times but
kerning is much better, IMO:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{newtxtext}
\usepackage{newtxmath}
\begin{document}
$I_f$
\end{document}

I agree with you about kerning, but I think that the stix project is
very interesting and also attractive (to me) because it is a very
complete set of fonts. Once you load them with \usepackage{stix} it's
all done. You have also mathscripts, all variants of blackboard bolds
and many more. However, at this point they still have some open
issues. Let's see.

The alternative you suggest is now very good, but not as complete,
from what I know.

Cheers
