[Tex/LaTex] Math and Times font

fontsmath-mode

I am trying to use the Times font for normal text and variables, and the default math font (CMR) for math. I tried using the Times package. This partially solves the problem. But I want the text in math (by which I mean English alphabet and numbers other than greek, operators etc) to be in the Times font. How do I do this? Any comments or suggestion is appreciated.

For further clarity see this:

Times math example

EDIT: There seems to be a commercial font used by many journals called MathTime. Maybe this is the one that I saw.

Use the mathptmx package which supersedes times and provides math support for Times.

 \usepackage{mathptmx}

Alternatively, try txfonts for Times in maths. Perhaps have a look at this contribution by frabjous.

 \usepackage{txfonts}

[Tex/LaTex] Charter for text, normal math font for math

\usepackage[bitstream-charter]{mathdesign}

but to use Charter with no implications on the math, using

\usepackage{charter}

is the right thing to do.

[Tex/LaTex] ‘β’ using Latin Modern fonts

upgreek works fine both with XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX. Apparently it isn't clear from chemmacros' documentation though that setting the option greek=upgreek does not load upgreek and greek=textgreek does not load textgreek! The option exists to prevent chemmacros from choosing between upgreek or textgreek automatically if either of them or both are loaded by the user. Using either option without loading the appropriate package usually throws an error like

! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> \textbeta 

l.9 \iupac{\b-carotene}

However, when fontspec is loaded, too, the code silently fails with Latin Modern. (I should probably add some checking whether the needed packages are loaded.)

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{upgreek}% needs no be loaded
\usepackage{chemmacros}[2014/01/24]
\usepackage{newunicodechar}
\newunicodechar{β}{\chembeta}

\begin{document}    
\iupac{\b-carotene} % works

\iupac{β-carotene} % works

β % works

\chembeta % works

$\beta$ % works fine
\end{document}
