General ⇒ Upright Greek characters

[thedrivingpete]

Hello everyone,

I am using Texniccenter 2.02 and use some greek letters in my text. Because they should not be italic like in math mode, I used for example $\upmu$.

But this is not set in the normal font the rest of the plain text is set in, but in the math font (I guess?). The font I use is libertine and that font has the greek letters, I just cant get Texniccenter to use them

I use:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{libertine}
\usepackage{libertinust1math}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

an I would like to write for example
\char"03BC
to use the unicode character for mu. Is that possible somehow?
Thank you for your time, help is very much apprechiated!

Welcome to the forum!

Your problem is not completely clear to me. However, here are a few examples of how to use upright Greek letters:

Single letters or short sentences in text:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{textgreek}
\begin{document}

\textmu

{\textgreekfont P'ater}

\end{document}

Single upright letters in math:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{upgreek}
\begin{document}

$\upmu$

\end{document}

Longer passages in text:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[polutonikogreek,english]{babel}
\begin{document}

\foreignlanguage{polutonikogreek}{P'ater}

\end{document}

Hi Clemens,

thank you for this hint! I did not know about the \textgreek package and using that solved my problems.
