I would like to share part of a conversation in a Microsoft Community forum, in which problems MS Word has with otf- fonts (opentype layout with postscript outlines) were discussed. In the comments, please let me know if you find others! I hope this helps those who have been searching for alternative fonts for Microsoft Equation Editor. The doc file won’t render correctly on your machine, however, unless you actually download all the aforementioned fonts. To illustrate what these fonts look like, I’ve taken a screenshot below, and I’ve also uploaded the doc file and the pdf file. Note: these may not look good on screen, but they look just perfect when printed. There is a math font ( download here) and a whole family of text fonts ( download here). Latin Modern is the LaTeX font of choice.Asana Math is compatible with Palatino ( download here) and if you don’t have Palatino, you can download it here, among other places.XITS Math is somewhat compatible with Times ( download here).If you’re typesetting a document with a font other than Cambria, then it looks a little weird to have your equations in a different font.Īfter some extensive research, I’ve found three other nice fonts that work with Microsoft Office’s new Equation Editor (these are compatible with Office 2007 or later): The default that comes with word, Cambria Math, is nice but doesn’t suit everyone’s needs. One issue everyone has with the new Equation Editor, however, is the limited ability to change the font typeface. Check out my previous posts on Equation Editor here, here, and here to see why it’s so great. It is so quick and easy and comes with many benefits. As you know, Microsoft Office has a new and improved Equation Editor that ROCKS.
