Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ Mathspec Verdana cos/sin ...

[nitrogen28]

I am having a little problem concerning the mathspec package I am using to get the same Verdana font for my formulas and text.
Yes, I know Verdana is not the best choice, but it is mandatory for me.
This my preamble:

The greek letter are in Verdana but some how all other character are in different font.
I am having to many formulas to type so switching between math mode and text mode is unacceptable.
Switching to a font that looks similar to Verdana might be an option.

Thank for your help.

Well, it's just doing what you told it to do, i.e., use Verdana for Greek (mathit) variables.

Also, you should use the operators like \sin for "sin" and \cos for "cos" so that they are put in mathrm with normal letter spacing rather than mathit.

If you want digits, latin characters and the mathrm alphabet to use Verdana too, you have to say so. See the mathspec manual for more info.

Also, in the future, please make use of full minimal working examples, not just snippets.

Sorry for the snippets!

Thanks for the fast response. Works perfectly.
