Alternate Greek symbols

Question

I remember there being a way to display some Greek letters in a slightly different style (like how people often write Greek letters a bit differently than they're printed). Can anybody remind me of the command for this?

Answer 1

\varphi, \varepsilon and so on.

If you want to use one variant throughout and save yourself a few keystrokes, put \let\phi\varphi in your preamble.

The kpfonts package contains slanted and upright greek letters for mathmode.

psgreek provides some alternate Greek fonts.
