[Tex/LaTex] Tstrut and Bstrut seem to be messing up the centering of the table

horizontal alignmenttables

I'd like to have some spacing between the hlines of my table, but Bstrut and Tstrut (which I understand are the standard ways of dealing with this issue) are adding unwanted empty characters that are messing up my centering in the table

Here's my code for it:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}

\newcommand\Tstrut{\rule{0pt}{2.6ex}}         % = `top' strut
\newcommand\Bstrut{\rule[-0.9ex]{0pt}{0pt}}   % = `bottom' strut


\begin{document}

\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{| c c c | c |}
\hline
$ \alpha $ & $ \beta $ & $ \gamma $ & $ \#(\alpha,\beta,\gamma) $ \Tstrut\Bstrut\\
\hline
T & T & T & T \Tstrut\\
T & T & F & T \\
T & F & T & T \\
T & F & F & F \\
F & T & T & T \\
F & T & F & F \\
F & F & T & F \\
F & F & F & F \Bstrut\\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

\end{document}

Best Answer

You should omit the space in T \Tstrut (and F \Bstrut), because now TeX centers the whole expression: T, horizontal space, box of width 0. Its width is larger than width of T, hence the shift visible in your table.
