Hi,

In my opinion, the size of the \sum in Cambria in display style is too large. I know that this is a design decision on part of Cambria designers, but I am wondering if I can scale the glyph down.

I made a local copy of cambria-math.lfg and changed FixDisplayOperatorMinHeight to

local function FixDisplayOperatorMinHeight(value,target,original) table.print(target) local o = original.mathparameters.DisplayOperatorMinHeight if o < 2240 then return 2240.0 * target.parameters.factor else return 0.8 * value -- already scaled end end

This works, but as expected, it scales down both \sum and \int. Is it possible to just change the height of \sum?

AFAIK, no, this parameter affects all display big operators, however you can control it from TeX end using ‘\Umathoperatorsize’ primitive, so may be you can use some TeX grouping hackary to limit its effect. Regards, Khaled
