Hi everyone,
I have $\int_{\Gamma_D} $ , the broblem is that the subscrpt D looks
too big, I want it to be smaller, so I tried the following
\int_{\Gamma_{\tiny D}} and \int_{\Gamma_{ \scriptsize D}}
the first gives the warning : Command \tiny invalid in math mode on
input
the second one does not make any changes, any ideas how can I fix
this, I need the subscript D to be small.
wishes,

Maybe using
$\int_{\Gamma_{\mbox{\tiny D}}}$

Thanks, I tried this, but it does not change anything

\scriptsize and \tiny are text-mode commands. They don't work in math mode.
\scriptstyle or \scriptscriptstyle are the math-mode equivalents.
But the D is already a subscript-subscript, so it is already in the smallest size available in standard math mode. It only looks bigger because it is a capital.

$\int_{\Gamma_{\mbox{\tiny\itshape D}}}$ will make it slightly smaller.

Not a direct solution to the question of how to reduce the font size
of the second-subscript "D" -- which has no solution in TeX anyway, as
the "D" is already at its smallest size -- but of possible use anyway:
By inserting a "negative thinspace" ("\!") command right before the
"D", as in
$\int_{\Gamma_{\!D}}$,
the "D" glyph is moved ever so slighly closer to the "\Gamma" symbol.
From a visual/aesthetic standpoint, this serves to clarify that the
glyph is a subscript of the set \Gamma rather than some separate
entity. Best, Mico

Just use....!
$\int_{\Gamma_{\scriptscriptstyle D}} $
