Hi all,
I would like support the following:

Up till now I accepted this as 'glitches', but if some new effort is put
into TLatex, it would be nice if the spacing/alignment issues could be
revisited... I often use TLatex syntax in axis titles, and I find that
super- and/or subscripts are somtimes badly placed. It seems to be a
rather subtle effect, but the follwing might shed some light on the
issues involved:
Try:
TCanvas *c1=new TCanvas("c1","Canvas #1",500,500)
tmpH=gPad->DrawFrame(0,0,1,10)
TPaveText *P=new TPaveText(0.1,4.5,0.95,8)
P->AddText("10.0 < |P| < 100.0")
P->AddText("1.0 < |P_{t}| < 10.0")
P->Draw()
P->SetTextFont(132)
P->Draw()
On my screen, the space between the P and the subscript t is very large.
Now, if I rescale the TPavetext (by mouse), it becomes clear that the
placing of the subscript depends on the size of the text. This probably
has a good reason, but if it can be changed, it might be worthwhile...
Best regards,
Marco van Leeuwen.
