So @Math symbols were misaligned vertically due to the @InitialFont
option, which I changed to vertically align bold words. 
I erronuosly thought that bold words counted as "big" words that, as
lout user manual reports at pg. 15, are vertically aligned to the
baseline by default.

The problem is, apparently, the viewer's. It never gave me any problem
so far. With other viewers words appear to be correctly aligned.

For reference, I'm using gnome evince 2.22.2 on a x86 Fedora 9 box.
