    I don't see anything unexpected in the f(x)=frac example produced by your example? The math font is a virtual font so non alphabetic symbols are pulled from elsewhere (rtxr font) but the italic letters match the non math text as far as I can tell?

The fonts used in math do not seem any bolder than the text fonts, I changed the example to more easily compare. the fonts used for mathrm and mathit are identical to the text upright and italic, the font used for the default math italic as expected has wider sidebearings but is no bolder.

    @Sebastiano the font is just mechanically scaled so the subscripts are smaller and thinner that is just the way it is in almost all font sets other than cm that has a large collection of designed size fonts.

    @Sebastiano Your question was rather hard to read, i thought that you were saying that the weight of math and text within the same example did not match, I mainly addressed that. It looks like all these have a heavier font than the first image you show but with website resolution pngs and no source for your first image that isn't very informative and anyway it is not surprising if different digital versions of classic fonts have visible differences

    @Sebastiano It wasn't clear what you were comparing in these two phrases, they appear to be contradictory (one saying math was too bold, one saying it was too light) but I think you were comparing different things?
