+** Subscript/superscript text in TeX is hard to read.
+
+tex-mode displays subscript/superscript text in the faces
+subscript/superscript, which are smaller than the normal font and
+lowered/raised.  With some fonts, nested superscripts (say) can be
+hard to read.  Switching to a different font, or changing your
+antialiasing setting (on an LCD screen), can both make the problem
+disappear.  Alternatively, customize the subscript and superscript
+faces to increase their height.

+compiling with GCC 4.2.3 or CC 5.7, with no optimizations.
