Strange Behaviour of \mathop

Strange Behaviour of \mathop

[Tobias Columbus]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 445 bytes --]

Dear list,

I stumpled upon a very strange effect that \mathop has on the vertical
positioning of characters.

\mathop applied to a single character results in the character's baseline being
lower than the baseline of all other characters. This does neither depend on the
font (checked with Lucida OT, Pagella and LatinModern) nor on the specific
character.

A minimal example for LatinModern and Pagella is attached.

With kind regards,
Tobias

This is a feature of \mathop: for one letter arguments, \mathop centers 
the symbol on the math-axis. If you don't want this, use:

   \mathop{P\kern\zeropoint}

etc.
