I am using MathTimePro2 especially for better looking over-/underbrackets \undercbrace and \overcbrace.

Of course mtpro2 is a font package and it somehow changes the default math style: it is no more the usual italic style. The author of mtpro2 suggests to use Times with the package, but that's not what I want.

  • I would simply like to revert to this default behaviour: $italic variables$
  • \mathit{italic vars} does the job, but that's very uncomfortable.

I already tried to understand this similar question, although not beeing related to mt2pro. It requires loading unicode-math which somehow interferes with mtpro2. I took

\usepackage[math-style=TeX]{unicode-math}

from the documentation. Setting the math-style to TeX-style is what I wish (meaning variables italic and greek alphabet upright).

Update

A fast solution I found 10 minutes later:

Calling the second line

\usepackage[lite]{mtpro 2}
\DeclareSymbolFont{letters}     {OML}{cmm} {m}{it}

right after loading the package seems to do what I wanted to. Got the command from another question. Sadly some brackets and other stuff (at least large greek like \Lambda) now seem to be messed up:

Parantheses <code>(</code> and <code>)</code>

Missing <code>Lambda</code>

    mtpro2 takes its parentheses ( and ) from its fonts (with its own encoding LMP1). The default Computer Modern math setup takes its parentheses directly from text font. These two encodings are incompatible. – Ruixi Zhang May 12 '20 at 02:22
  • So, in order ti get around the problem: Is there any workaround to exclusively use the mtpro2 extra symbols provided? Or to somehow fix the parantheses issue? Thanks! – Georg S May 12 '20 at 07:12
