Bold character and unwanted space

Hi all,
I have written this formula:
n=f_j(bold x, bold p, t)d bold x d bold nospace {p}
but I can't understand how to remove the space between the "d" and the "x" or "p" that should be bold becuase they are vectors.
I would like it appears like "dx" but it is "d x"
What to do?

I hope someone else can prove me wrong; there's no fix for it as far as I know.

NO!

This one is slightly better:
Code: Select all
n=f_j(bold x, bold p, t) nospace{d bold x} nospace {d bold p}

you know what?
for "dx" your fix works fine, but for "dp" doesn't change nothing... that's strange.
Anyway thanks for helping.
I would like to remove the huge space between "f" and its subscript "j", I try with nospace{f_j} but it doesn't work.... it's a pity

Something like this?

Only LaTeX (with amsmath package enabled on the preamble, to use "\boldsymbol{}") can do that...

Ok, maybe I'll change we LaTex...

It is possible to insert LaTeX equations on Math. See for example this thread:
Is there an alternative to Math?
But if you need to insert a lot of mathematis/physics stuff, then changing to LaTeX is the only solution.
LyX, an open source front-end to LaTeX/XeTeX/LuaTeX... offers the best compromise between "easy of use" and "power". I wrote my PhD thesis (some weird stuff about fempto second pulsed lasers and solid spectroscopy...) with LyX

Have been looking at this problem for past couple of days and when I tried with TexMaths in LibreOffice thought that the bold character request was being applied to whole equation. Closer inspection reveals that the font it is using (for .svg) seems to be too heavy:

No such problem with Lyx though:

I'm doing something similar for my Ms thesis...
