### Math mode symbols like Times New Roman

Hello all.

I have to use Times New Roman font.
But in math mode I use standart LaTeX math font (CM?).

I want to make math mode symbols look like Times New Roman.

Direct setting like

\usepackage{unicode-math}\setmathfont{Times New Roman}

is not a way, because I have rectangles instead of greek symbols and some other symbols. I don't know why, because Times New Roman has greek alphabet.

Is any way to make Times New Roman-like font in the math mode?

May be direct redefinition of symbols for math mode? Like
\DeclareUTFcharacter[\UTFencname]{x237A}{\alpha}

Math mode fonts have to be constructed in the correct way. In particular, just because a text font contains the same visual symbols as a math font does not mean that the symbols will show up correctly: it's about the underlying meaning. You need to use a proper Unicode math font here. The best match for Times New Roman is probably XITS, so I would go with
\setmathfont{xits-math.otf}
