Text Formatting ⇒ Declaring upright e, i, and pi in Computer Modern mathmode

[svend_tveskaeg]

Dear (La)TeX friends.

Well, the headline says it all. I got the idea of this from Will Robertson's blog, but I have no idea of what to write when I am not using the upright maths font Euler.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

you could use \mathrm{ei}.
Computer Modern Roman provides an upright italic font shape. Try:

Code: Select all

\fontshape{ui}\selectfont ei

But this does not apply to \pi.

Hi Stefen.

Code: Select all

\fontshape{ui}\selectfont ei

was definitely not was I was looking for; my entire index and my headlines are typeset in upright italic mode.

Well, never mind that, if I use \mathrm{e} and \mathrm{i}, respectively, I get what I want.

Is there no way of getting an upright mathmode pi with the Computer Modern font?

Thanks in advance!

my entire index and my headlines are typeset in upright italic mode.

Just use curly braces to limit the effect:

Code: Select all

{\fontfamily{cmss}\fontshape{ui}\selectfont upright italic} normal shape

\normalfont may also be used.

Thank you very much!

I am wondering if there is a way of getting an upright mathmode pi with the Computer Modern font?

Update: Table 134 in "The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List" gave me the answer.
