I'm studying TeX from The TeXbook. I was asking myself, just for exercise, if there is a way to obtain a non-italicized \varepsilon
in a simple way, without using some outer package but just with some basic TeX-hacks. At the present time, I cannot succeed in that. So I'm asking to you: is there such a way? Can you point out to me something on this respect?
I'm using plain TeX and the Computer Modern font family.
Is there, maybe, a way to remove the italic from \varepsilon
? Is there maybe a way to bend the upper part of a character balancing the slant?
Is there some family of fonts similar to the Computer Modern but that allows me write that \varepsilon
?
I tried to use another font (one which would allow me to write Greek letters) but the result is ugly to me, since I would like to write something as
t$\varepsilon$x
with the same
character type.
Any idea will be appreciated.

is found, modify the setting(s) that pertain to the glyph's slant, and create a new math font family with the new\varepsilon
in place of the standard version. – Mico Jan 28 '15 at 8:48
