Typeset with mathastext 1.15c (2012/10/05). pdf
Note for experts: t1lmvtt.fd has some typos affecting the `light' series in italic shape and the `semi-bold' series (last checked 2012/10/07).

In the next image, one uses for the text the `light' variant (option `lighttt' of package lmodern, but see the `note to experts' above) and the math mode uses the semi-bold series of lmvtt.

French Cursive (Euler Greek)

Note that there are no plus, no equal and no asterisk signs. The following warning seems to be obsolete with the latest version of the font (quickly tested 2012/12/30).

Obsolete warning: when mathastext is used with French Cursive, certain isolated letters, like the f in the example below will not display correctly in math mode. This is particularly notable on the letters r and s, which become barely legible. This happens for letters at the beginning of a word: in $rs$, s will be ok, but not r. If you really want to use mathastext with French Cursive, try to avoid r and s in math mode. If you absolutely need to use these letters at a few spots in your document, you can type \text{r} or rather \text{rs} in the example above (this requires amstext (or amsmath)). Also, note that there are no plus, no equal and no asterisk signs (at least in my copy of the fonts).

    This needed quite a bit of preparation work on the source as it made extensive use of the letter r in mathematical mode, see the warning above.
    Note to the experts: the \fontdimen6 parameter is small and this impacts LaTeX in its use of the em dimension unit in certain macros, for example for typesetting tables of contents. So I had to modify the \DeclareFontFamily{T1}{frc}{} in order to increase by 50% the value of 1em and manage to get the table of contents right.

This section was written in March 2011, and I added a little to the discussion of the LGR encoded fonts for this current version of October 2012. The tables have been extended with the LGR encoded CM fonts, serif, sans and typewriter (part of the cbfonts).

The Greek letters can be either set up by other packages (such as eulervm, fourier, kpfonts, mathdesign, pxfonts, txfonts, ... in brief, any package setting up math fonts) or decided by an option passed to mathastext: LGRgreek, symbolgreek, eulergreek, selfGreek (the eleven uppercase Greek letters in OT1-encoding).

In the examples presented here, the Greek letters in math mode may be:

• from the text font itself in LGR encoding (LGRgreek package option): Latin Modern Typewriter, Droid Serif (first and second examples), Droid Sans (first and second examples), Comfortaa, GFS Bodoni, GFS Didot, GFS NeoHellenic, Epigrafica. Not illustrated with examples here, some other free font packages providing LGR encoded fonts: txfontsb, kerkis, dejavu, opensans. And the Latin Modern (lmodern), CM-LGC (cmlgc) and CM fonts have LGR encoded font files (for CM/LM these LGR fonts belong to the cbfonts distribution, the font definition files being distributed with the babel package).
• from the Linux-Libertine (or Biolinum) font with the help of the libgreek package by the author (used here only for the Libertine and Biolinum examples, but can be used with any other text font of course), [added note 2012/10: currently Libertine type 1 fonts for TeX/LaTeX with Greek letters are only in the libertine-legacy package on CTAN: there are no-Greek glyphs in the libertine-type1 or biolinum-type1 packages; fortunately libgreek will still work as long as the libertine-legacy package is installed on your system. The current CTAN libertine package loads libertine-type1 and/or biolinum-type1, which however do not contain fonts for Greek. But as long as libertine-legacy (which has been removed from TeXLive) is on your system, libgreek will work.]
• from the Fourier-GUTenberg fonts (this uses \usepackage{fourier} or \usepackage[upright]{fourier}),
• from the PX/TX fonts (this uses \usepackage{pxfonts} or \usepackage{txfonts}; and in the Antykwa Półtawskiego and Vollkorn cases use has been made of the author's txgreeks package to get the Greek letters from the TX fonts in upright shape),
• from the Symbol font (option symbolgreek),
• from the Euler font (option eulergreek),
• or finally from the Computer Modern fonts (the Electrum ADF example shows how to get them in upright shape with the help of the LGRgreek option; these LGR encoded "CM" fonts [displayed here in the two tables] are in fact part of the Claudio Beccari cbfonts.)

On each line lowercase and uppercase Greek letters are taken from the same font. But as TeX defaults to upright uppercase and italic lowercase, typically this will also be the default set-up when loading a package providing math fonts (for example \usepackage{fourier}), except of course for Euler and Symbol which do not exist in slanted shape. The author's packages libgreek, txgreeks, and pxgreeks facilitate the shape selection when using, respectively, Libertine/Biolinum or the TX/PX fonts.

• We only show the `var' letters available in the default CM fonts (some of the fonts displayed have further `var' letters).
• The glyphs \varrho and \varsigma are missing from Euler; and \varepsilon and \varrho are missing from Symbol.
• Depending on the font, \epsilon may be `curly' and \varepsilon `straight' or vice versa. And similarly for \phi vs \varphi.
• Not shown is the glyph for \omicron: the macro is not defined in default TeX (one is supposed to just type o) and additionally some math fonts providing upright Greek letters do not make provision for an upright \omicron (supposed to be taken from the Roman font via \mathrm{o}, I guess).
• When a text font is also available in LGR encoding it provides Greek letters (by definition! and of course this encoding is for typesetting the Modern and Ancient Greek languages, with many diacritics). But apart from the \varsigma this encoding does not give (I think) the `var' variants present in the default TeX font cmmi.

To conclude, a table with these fonts in Bold series (sometimes the bold series is like the medium series). The Libertine Bold Italic misses the Greek glyphs (this issue arose when the libertine package, now called libertine-legacy, entered into its version number 5; note that these tables use the font files for (pdf)latex of libertine-legacy, not the OpenType font files now distributed with the package libertineotf). But the slanted shape glyphs do exist.
