Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around identifying a specific font used in an integral sign, with participants exploring various font packages and styles available in LaTeX. The inquiry is primarily focused on typographical preferences rather than a strict physics or mathematics question.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks help in identifying a font used in an integral sign, expressing a preference for a style different from those typically used in Computer Modern and Cambria Math.
  • Some participants suggest that the font resembles Times New Roman, noting the use of italics for variables.
  • One participant recommends using the LaTeX package \usepackage{pslatex} to achieve a similar look.
  • Another participant points out that \usepackage{pslatex} may not provide the desired integral sign.
  • Several font packages are proposed, including \usepackage[varg]{txfonts}, \usepackage{euler}, \usepackage{eulervm}, and \usepackage{pxfonts} as alternatives to achieve the desired style.
  • A later reply confirms that the eulervm package successfully meets the original participant's needs.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the potential use of Times New Roman and various LaTeX packages, but there is no consensus on a single definitive solution for the font identification or the best package to use.

Contextual Notes

The discussion does not resolve the specific identification of the font, and the effectiveness of the suggested packages may depend on individual preferences and LaTeX configurations.

Who May Find This Useful

This discussion may be useful for individuals interested in typography, LaTeX users seeking alternative font styles, or those involved in document preparation in academic or technical fields.

Hello!
Desperately looking for an answer to this. While it's not really a physics or maths question, I don't really know where else to ask, so I reasoned here was as good as anywhere - please excuse me if I'm asking in the wrong place.
Does anyone recognise the font used in this integral?

I'd like to download it and use it for myself, but I can't find it anywhere. Is there a .ttf (or equivalent) for it? (I'm not yet a proficient Latex user, so I'd struggle with getting fonts working though that.) I much prefer this style of integral sign to the slanted ones used in Computer Modern and Cambria Math.
Thanks.

Looks like Times New Roman

They used italics for the x's

That indeed looks like Times. Try \usepackage{pslatex}.

Actually, that will not give you the integral sign you want:

Here are some packages that may give you what you want:
\usepackage[varg]{txfonts}

\usepackage{euler}

\usepackage{eulervm}

\usepackage{pxfonts}
