Too much vertical space above xrightarrow












3















I currently have the following shortcut in my LaTeX document for an isomorphism arrow:



usepackage{kpfonts,Baskervaldx,mathrsfs,calligra}

newcommand{congto}{xrightarrow{sim}}


This works fine, except for the fact that there is a bit too much vertical space below the sim.

In particular, if the arrow happens to appear below any other inline maths, then things seem a little bit too squished.

How can I lower the sim to be closer to my xrightarrow?



Here is how things look at the moment:

If you don't need it in scriptstyle (though I think xrightarrow only comes in textstyle), then



documentclass{article}
usepackage{kpfonts,Baskervaldx,mathrsfs,calligra}
newcommand{congto}{altxrightarrow{sim}}
usepackage{stackengine,amsmath}
newcommandaltxrightarrow[2][0pt]{mathrel{ensurestackMath{stackengine%
{dimexpr#1-7.5pt}{xrightarrow{phantom{#2}}}{scriptstyle!#2,}%
{O}{c}{F}{F}{S}}}}
begin{document}
$Acongto B$

$Aaltxrightarrow{equiv} B$

$Aaltxrightarrow[-2pt]{mathrm{wth}} B$
end{document}

    Following the links in a comment, I just used



    newcommand{congto}{xrightarrow{raisebox{-1ex}[0ex][0ex]{$sim$}}}


    which worked great:
