General ⇒ An italic \Phi

[N00bDaan]

Aloha,

So I want to get my \Phi italic and I tried several things, but none of them really worked (see the code). The subscript Ar part will go italic, but the Phi does not want to...

Code: Select all

$\Phi_{Ar}$

Anyone knows how to handle this? I tried \mathit, \textsl, {\it ...}
I dunno anyway.

When using a postscript font, there is an option you can give to the related package. Some of the font packages from the psnfss bundle offer such an option.

Code: Select all

\usepackage[slantedGreek]{mathptmx}   % Typesetting in Times style
\usepackage[slantedGreek]{mathpazo}   % Typesetting in Palatino style

You can alternatively use the mathdesign package, which offers a more general use of and with different styles. It also has options to get slanted Greek letters. Refer to its documentation to get things work.
