# The \smallsmile and \smallfrown commands render identically to \smile and \frown

In MathJax it seems that \smallsmile and \smallfrown render identically to \smile and \frown respectively (on my computer at least). If other people confirm this issue I'll submit a bug report to the MathJax maintainers.

Consider the code

$$\begin{array}{cc} \smallsmile & \smallfrown\\ \smile & \frown \end{array}$$


Here it is as rendered by the site (this is not a screenshot): $$\begin{array}{cc} \smallsmile & \smallfrown\\ \smile & \frown \end{array}$$ Here it is as I see it in Chrome 26.0.1410.64 m (zoomed in 250%):

Here it is as I see it in Internet Explorer 10.0.9200.16540 (zoomed in 250%):

Here it is as I see it when compiling it in my LaTeX editor (zoomed in 250%):

I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

• If I may not-so-humbly suggest, can this question (or its general structure) be listed somewhere official as the desired format for all reports of "this formatting looks weird"? Apr 12 '13 at 22:35
• Did the fact that the \smallfrown and the \frown look the same made you \frown or just a \smallfrown? Or maybe it actually made you \smile? :-)
