Math & Science ⇒ make symbols in visio figs look like latex equation font

[latexvis]

Hi,

I have drawn some figures in Microsoft Visio. In the report that I'm writing there are symbols in these figures (e.g. x[n]) which I use in my equations and as I added those symbols in my figures using equation editor of Microsoft, they look differently from what I have written in the body of my report using Latex equations. So I was wondering if anybody have any clue how I can change the symbols in my figure into Latex equation font?
thanks!

Hello there,

I suggest you use Palatino font in Visio, and then in your LaTeX file, have

Code: Select all

\usepackage{palatino}

in your preamble (before the

Code: Select all

\begin{document}

command). I think that's is the closest you can get.

If you need an even better result, check out Tikz http://sourceforge.net/projects/pgf/. This is far superior to creating figures in visio and then inserting them in LaTeX, but the learning curve might be a bit steep (depending on what you want to draw).

Cheers,

Thanks a lot for the answer. But I think I have found a way which is easier (at least for me). I could find the fonts which are being used by Latex. check out the following link:

actually most of these fonts look similar to me but I used "cmmi9" font and it works for me good enough.
