This is caused by the setting for the ScriptLevel option. The Default.nb stylesheet has a named style for "InlineCell", which is a style used by all inline cells (even if they use other named styles), and that style has ScriptLevel->1. You can select the inline cell or its contents and reset ScriptLevel back to zero, or you can change the "InlineCell" style in your stylesheet.
