Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ Any upright greek letters \ne upgreek ?

[Cham]

I'm looking for upright greek letters, but not the ones we have with the upgreek package. I simply dislike the symbols from that package (especially \upbeta, \uppi, \upomega, \upvartheta and \upvarphi).

Is there any other way to have upright greek letters in maths expressions ?
I need them for vectorial expressions.

If you're set on using the default Computer Modern fonts then I don't know any other way besides the upgreek package. However, if you use the fouriernc fonts then you have access to the \other[greek] commands for upright Greek letters. For example, this code

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fouriernc}
\begin{document}
This is from fouriernc:
$\otherbeta$, $\otherpi$, $\otheromega$, $\othervartheta$,
$\othervarphi$
\end{document}

will produce upright Greek letters like this:

In comparison, the default CM fonts with the upgreek package would look like this:

Thanks for the reply.

I like pretty much the \otheromega and \othervarphi symbols, but I'm not sure about the others.

You might wanna have a look at the textgreek package ...
