| Jan 18, 2019 at 20:19 | comment | added | David Carlisle | the * looks far too high as it ism and as Werner says it is making the | | too large, Use \bigl| S^*_{..}\bigr| | |
| Jan 18, 2019 at 20:17 | comment | added | David Carlisle | you can use an italic font but use \mathit{eq} never use the default math italic font for multi-letter names the whole design of the font is to make adjacent letters look like a product of variables not a word. compare $diff+\mathit{diff}$ | |
| Jan 18, 2019 at 20:16 | comment | added | Ulrike Fischer | But if you use italic you should use \mathit{SDSCR}_{i}, without \mathit the spacing is all wrong. | |

| Jan 18, 2019 at 19:57 | comment | added | user31729 | If SDSCR is an identifier/variable, it should not be typeset in math italic -- it looks awful that way | |
| Jan 18, 2019 at 19:52 | comment | added | Al-Motasem Aldaoudeyeh | @Werner For aesthetics because the variable would look crowded. | |
| Jan 18, 2019 at 19:49 | comment | added | Werner♦ | Why do you raise the * superscript even higher? That the main cause... | |
| Jan 18, 2019 at 19:46 | comment | added | Bernard | That is because delimiters are symmetric w.r.t. the math axis, and there is only a discrete set of sizes | |
