Hi
Trying to get a particular style of tau symbol in latex but have had no luck.
http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~couperc/tau.JPG
The tau on the left (Latex) is the one I'm getting but the tau on the right (MS Word) is the one that I want.
Anyone know if there's a particualr font or language that will give me the style of symbol I want (if it was a language I could use the babel package or similar)
Thanks

Hi,
try the kpfonts:
try the kpfonts:
Code: Select all
Code, edit and compile here:
\documentclass{article}\usepackage{kpfonts}\begin{document}$\tau$\end{document}
1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,233,...
Re: Tau variations
Will this affect the whole document?
any way i can use it just for that particular tau?

Yes, it will.couperc wrote:Will this affect the whole document?..
No, you cannot, at least not if you use the kpfonts package.couperc wrote:...any way i can use it just for that particular tau?
A better option then would be to use the upgreek package to have access to upright Greek letters at will:
Code: Select all
Code, edit and compile here:
\documentclass{article}\usepackage{upgreek}\begin{document}$\tau$$\uptau$\end{document}
1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,233,...
