It depends which symbols you're talking about, but variables in math (at least in English-language documents) are normally set in italic by default. Roman is typically used for function names like "sin" and "log". Sans-serif is rarely used in math; when it is, it's often for special kinds of variables, such as vectors (though other conventions are more popular for indicating vectors). -- Matthew Skala [email protected] People before principles. http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/ -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
