How to change font for the integral symbol

I'm looking how to change the integral symbol.

For example:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
$\int_a^b f(x) \mathrm{d} dx$
\end{document}


I want to only change the font of \int to get a \rm\int like \mathrm{d} or can I define a new \rmint using other package, for example arev?

\documentclass{article}
%define a new command for \rm font of int

\begin{document}
$\rmint_a^b$
\end{document}


to get the style of \int is

I have get \rmoint and \rmint by

\DeclareMathSymbol{\rmintop}{\mathop}{rmlargesymbols}{82}
\DeclareMathSymbol{\rmointop}{\mathop}{rmlargesymbols}{72}


but I can not get all of integrals as follows:

Define a new math font from a new font family besides the default cmex, for instance, mdbch and euex. Refer to arevmath.sty.

\documentclass{article}
%define a new command for \rm font of int
\DeclareSymbolFont{rmlargesymbols}{OMX}{mdbch}{m}{n}
% or \DeclareSymbolFont{rmlargesymbols}{U}{euex}{m}{n}
\DeclareMathSymbol{\rmintop}{\mathop}{rmlargesymbols}{82}
\newcommand{\rmint}{\rmintop\nolimits}
\begin{document}
$\rmint_a^b$
$\rmint_a^b$

\end{document}

• If you use \DeclareMathSymbol{\intop}..., then \int will give the new symbol without any other intervention. With amsmath one may get wrong spacing with multiple integrals and so may need to modify \intkern@ and \intdots@. Dec 27 '12 at 11:46
• I'm trying to get this method to work with a different font, pxfonts. The reason for this is that I need both \int and \boldsymbol{\int} (which is not provided in the default). I don't need multiple integrals. I can't understand what "82" is (I cannot even find the symbol \int in mdbch.sty...). Can anyone help me with this? Thank you. May 3 at 14:28

Here's a "complete" selection of "upright integrals" using the mathdesign fonts, suitably scaled. The part between \makeatletter and \makeatother has been taken from amsmath.sty and edited.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}

\makeatletter
\def\upintkern@{\mkern-7mu\mathchoice{\mkern-3.5mu}{}{}{}}
\def\upintdots@{\mathchoice{\mkern-4mu\@cdots\mkern-4mu}%
{{\cdotp}\mkern1.5mu{\cdotp}\mkern1.5mu{\cdotp}}%
{{\cdotp}\mkern1mu{\cdotp}\mkern1mu{\cdotp}}%
{{\cdotp}\mkern1mu{\cdotp}\mkern1mu{\cdotp}}}
\newcommand{\upiint}{\DOTSI\protect\UpMultiIntegral{2}}

• @Manuel Sorry, I introduced a bug with my last edit. Fix in a minute. Dec 27 '12 at 16:58
• A new small problem, all the limits work well except in \upiint, \upiiint and (may be) \upidotsint. Try with this code: \upiint_a^b\quad\upiiint_a^b\quad\upidotsint_a^b (if you use \limits the b is not correctly positioned, and if you use \nolimits the a is not correctly positioned. Could you solve this? Dec 27 '12 at 17:23
• Thank you! Can we get it by changing the font of esint package? I have no idea until now. Dec 28 '12 at 1:31
• @Manuel When using \limits after multiple integrals only the lower limit makes sense and the code in amsmath is providing a centered lower limits; in my experiment the behavior with \nolimits seems correct. Dec 28 '12 at 10:48
• @TeX.pig esint uses its own font, that consists only of integral symbols. Dec 28 '12 at 10:50
