I am typesetting a LaTeX document with some Greek symbols, using the xelatex engine.

For some reason, the \chi command creates a different symbol than I would expect:

this symbol versus this other one

They are close, but not exactly the same, and I would like to obtain the second.

Is there a special package that I should invoke?

Thanks in advance for any hint, Adrian

  • You are using a non-standard font. The right one is the default LaTeX font called Computer Modern, the left one is something else which comes from you loading some font package (probably `txfonts` or `mathptmx`). – Henri Menke May 22 '17 at 06:36
  • Thanks, that was the answer indeed. I am actually using the Computer Modern font using package lmodern, but after that, in the header, I am using package mathptmx which is the culprit. Should you post as an answer, I will mark as complete. – Adrian May 23 '17 at 12:02

Remove any font changing packages from the preamble.

In this case it turned out that the offending one was mathptmx.

    This is the correct answer, with minor comment: I managed to get the right font while still preserving `mathptmx`. The trick is to invoke that package *before* package `lmodern` which provides the Computer Modern font. The order of the packages matters, it seems. – Adrian May 24 '17 at 09:30
