Mathpazo includes (part of) fixmath.sty by the same author. This means that
selecting a math alphabet affects both Greek and Latin letters.
In contrast, with CM or Latin Modern, the default LaTeX behaviour is kept:
Greek letters behave like non-letter symbols and do not change inside a
\math... alphabet:
In the following minimal example:
\documentclass{article}
% \usepackage{lmodern}
% \usepackage{mathpazo}
\usepackage[garamond]{mathdesign}
\usepackage{isomath}
\begin{document}
$VIC \Gamma vic \gamma \varepsilon$
$\mathrm{VIC \Gamma vic \gamma \varepsilon}$
$\mathbold{VIC \Gamma \varepsilon}$
\end{document}
the Greek letters inside \mathrm{...} are still italic with
\usepackage{lmodern} and garbage characters with mathpazo.
The only package that supports upright Greek characters via
\mathrm{\alpha ... \Omega} is mathdesign in combination with isomath.
For details see the isomath documentation.
