One could <strong>force</strong> +the below/above placement in running text by using: +<pre> <tt>\displaystyle $<a href="ltx-408.html">\sum</a>_{n=0}^<a href="ltx-407.html">\infty</a> x_n$</tt></pre> +although it should be noted that this might cause LaTeX to leave extra +space between the text lines which might not be desirable. + +<h2>LaTeX 2.09 fonts</h2> +The regular <a href="ltx-177.html">type style</a> declarations can be +used in <a href="ltx-115.html#math">math mode</a>. +They affect only letters (including upper case <a href="ltx-405.html">Greek</a> +letters) but not symbols +(or lower case <a href="ltx-405.html">Greek</a> letters).
