Interesting. It looks like all the lowercase bowls (a, c, d, g, o, p, q)
and some other counters (m, n, u, v, w) are larger and rounder in math
italic. Why's that? There's no obvious source of confusion, is there?  And
why is uppercase "I" the same shape as in text italic---because the first
person singular pronoun is not expected to appear in close proximity to
maths?
