switch greek lowercase for times.sty to upright?

Question

I need to "similarize" my latex output to web browser serif display. I would like all math to be switched to upright and mimick html browsers, too. \usepackage{mathastext} \usepackage{times} \usepackage{amsmath} are good starts.

how do I get latex mathmode to default to upright lowercase greek letters to match the times font in its upright form now, rather than remain in italics. upgreek.sty would have been good, except that it requires me to change use in the document.

I want the latex \beta to look like β (&beta;) and not like β (<i>&beta;</i>), and preferably a little fattier than usual, too, because web browsers seem to be a little fatty...

Answer 1

You could try the following:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{txfonts}
\usepackage[upright]{txgreeks}
\usepackage{mathastext}
\begin{document}
This is text mode and now a math display:
\[ \alpha^n+\beta^m = \gamma^q \]
\end{document}

\[ \Gamma\cdot x+\Omega\cdot y=\Psi\cdot z \]

Answer 2

If you're not stuck with times, any font package that has a french math option (whatever be its exact name in the package) will do it. To my knowledge, fourier, kpfonts, mathdesign and MinionPro will do it. Perhaps also MyriadProfrom the FontPro package
