I want to typeset a math equation that is is printed in TraditionalForm. Here is an example:
t = (Subscript[c, v1] Subscript[n, 1] Subscript[T, 1] +
Subscript[c, v2] Subscript[n, 2] Subscript[T, 2])/(
Subscript[c, v1] Subscript[n, 1] + Subscript[c, v2] Subscript[n, 2]);
Print["T" // TraditionalForm, " = ", t]
The Print statement gives me the equation I want but in Courier font, which is default for Print. If I select the output cell and use the notebook interface to Convert to TraditionalForm, then the equation is printed in the default font for text, which is really how I want it. Is it possible to obtain the final result using only Mathematica expressions, without having to go through the notebook interface?
If you do not especially attached to using Print, this could be done in a number of ways. If I would want it in an output cell (as you seems to want it) and to have a full control on font, size, slanting and so on, I would do like this:
ExpressionCell[
Style["T=\!\(\*FractionBox[\(\*SubscriptBox[\(c\), \(v1\)]\\\ \
\*SubscriptBox[\(n\), \(1\)]\\\ \*SubscriptBox[\(T\), \(1\)] + \
\*SubscriptBox[\(c\), \(v2\)]\\\ \*SubscriptBox[\(n\), \(2\)]\\\ \
\*SubscriptBox[\(T\), \(2\)]\), \(\*SubscriptBox[\(c\), \(v1\)]\\\ \
\*SubscriptBox[\(n\), \(1\)] + \*SubscriptBox[\(c\), \(v2\)]\\\ \
\*SubscriptBox[\(n\), \(2\)]\)]\)", 18, Italic, Bold,
RGBColor[0, 0.5, 0], FontFamily -> "Tahoma"], "Output"]
Try it. Otherwise you may do it like this:
ExpressionCell[
Style[HoldForm[
T = (Subscript[c, v1] Subscript[n, 1] Subscript[T, 1] +
Subscript[c, v2] Subscript[n, 2] Subscript[T, 2])/(
Subscript[c, v1] Subscript[n, 1] +
Subscript[c, v2] Subscript[n, 2])], 18, Italic, Bold, Blue,
FontFamily -> "Arial"], "Output"]
Try this also. Have fun.
