Hello Racketeers,
Of course, i should be doing something useful, like writing my thesis.
Instead, i am obsessing over typesetting details.
I use fixed-width fonts (the LaTeX package beramono, to be precise) for
my code snippets. I use the listings package too. This allows me to
mark words such as `lambda` as keywords, and apply special formatting to
them. What i would actually like, however, is to be able to use the
symbol, literally λ, in my code. I have managed to do that in 2
different ways:
- using $\lambda$ inline. This gives me the math-mode font (a sort of
italicised affair) in the middle of my teletype code snippet. That's
ugly.
- using the package textgreek, since the command \textlambda it provides
respects surrounding formatting. This means that my λ-symbols are
upright, and can be bolded following my convention in code snippets.
What do i actually want, you ask? Well, i want to be able to typeset a
bold, upright λ symbol in my fixed-width font, such that it does not
look out of place. I have not quite managed to ascertain whether
beramono includes a glyph for λ, but i thought to myself, i cannot be
the first person having this problem.
Any pointers would be appreciated. Of note might also be that i am
using pdfLaTeX, not XeTeX or anything else fancy. If i *reeeeally* have
to i might be persuaded to move, but i am a creature of habit, so i
would accord mad bonus points to anyone who does this without me having
to change my workflow too much.
I hope there is a solution. Kind regards!
p.
PS: the included image includes an example of how my code currently
looks. IMHO, the λ is rather out-of-place compared to the surrounding
\texttt{..} code.
