Math & Science ⇒ Help. Dont want maths in italics (pdf)!

[user]

Hi,

im using swp, but its pretty much the same as latex. i need to put something into the preamble to get the the italics off the pdf when using math, either in normal text or as part of theorem, etc. Im using some shell. How can i turn this off? It should be only normal. nothing special.thanks.

I can think of two options off the top of my head.

Option 1: Brute force method.

Code: Select all

Here's my text mode stuff. The first three letters of math mode are $\mathrm{abc}$.

Option 2: Use Euler math fonts.

Code: Select all

\usepackage{euler}
\begin{document}
Here's my text mode stuff.  The first three letters of math mode are $abc$.

Note that redefining math mode symbols that are not Roman alphabet characters is tricky. The txfonts and pxfonts packages have some upwards Greek characters for use with the Times and Palatino typefaces, respectively, and the upgreek package defines similar symbols for use with the computer modern (default) typeface.
