I like the kpfonts package. It's a nice font and some of the extra symbols it defines are sometimes useful. But I do not like the \sum
symbol either in displaystyle or inline. It's too thin and too tall. I tried looking at how kpfonts defines \sum
in the hope of just being able to \renewcommand
but it does something weird with the maths operators, in order to have package options like fullsumlimits
.
How can I get the \sum
symbol looking more like the cm sum, for example, without breaking kpfonts package options?

Have a look at the answers to this question.
That gets you the
\sum
from Computer Modern but called\sumop
. Withkpfonts
loaded, that should make the macro\sum
respect the various limits option while using the CM sum symbol.
