[comp.text.tex] subscripts that don't look right

hussain@ecs.umass.edu (02/16/91)

I am using TeX on VAX/VMS with QMS laser printer. The subscripts in
mathematical symbols appear to be typeset a little higher than what
you see in printed texts. The problem is worse if the symbols are 
in-text i.e. in the $...$ environment. Sometimes the subscript 
appears to be virtually at the same level as the symbol, especially
if the symbol is a lowercase letter.
Is there a way to correct this situation?
