Is there anyway that I can use Mathtype's Euclid font in typing texts in LaTeX? Just for the text, not the math mode. Some used to suggest that it's the same as the default Computer Modern font in LaTeX, but I strongly disagree with that, and I'm still desperate to use this font in LaTeX. If that's possible, what should I do?

    How do you compile your document? pdflatex or xelatex/lualatex. If you use the last ones you can simple add True Type fonts: See for example http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/24691/how-to-install-otf-fonts-with-otfinst-py – Marco Daniel Jun 09 '13 at 17:16
  • I'm using pdflatex. It seems like I can't avoid using xelatex or lualatex as you suggested. Thank you. – Pachara Jun 09 '13 at 17:35

  • I'm surprised that you think the Euclid font is so different from Computer Modern. They seem very similar, to me. What are the big differences, in you view? – bubba Mar 28 '15 at 06:31

With LuaLaTeX or XeLaTeX, any system font may be used. I don't have Euclid installed, so I've used a generic replacement. You can replace Times New Roman with the name of any system-installed font.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec} % allows loading of system fonts
\setmainfont{Times New Roman} % replace with your desired font

\begin{document}
Hello world! And math ($a^2 + b^2 = c^2$) is still in Computer Modern:
\[ \sin^2 u + \cos^2 u = 1 \]
\end{document}
