I think the second one of those is a different character that should actually be `$\sim$.

Oh, indeed it is! I don't think my font showed the difference well, but I can tell on GitHub at least. Let me check my font again; it might be worth a comment that it's not a regular tilde.

Yeah, mine didn't either! I just had a hunch so checked it by typing a regular tilde and comparing the two characters. 😄
I've (finally) finished running raco setup --doc-pdf
with the change locally and it doesn't seem to cause any errors so I'm happy to merge a pull request. Or I can just push a commit too if that's easier?
Whichever is easier for you. Thanks for looking!
Closing the loop: my font does a better job distinguishing ∼
(0x223c) from ~
(0x7e) than I thought it did. I just made the mistake of not looking carefully; in retrospect, I should have questioned harder why there were two substitutions of the same character.
This bit me recently because
$\sim$
is hard to copy-paste as a tilde, and I had much better luck switching to\textasciitilde{}
which is admittedly not as pretty in@racket
and friends.If there's no good reason, I'm happy to send this diff of
scribble-lib/scribble/latex-render.rkt
as a PR:
