[Tex/LaTex] Non italic math mode symbols

math-modeunits

I would like to insert a \mu command to form $\mu$ m (micro meters)
i.e. as a unit, not a variable.

This means I do not want \mu to be italic. However, LaTeX only accepts the
\mu command in math-mode and therefore it appears in italic….

\mathrm{\mu} does not work.

Any ideas on how can to change this into a regular upright symbol?

It is better to use siunitx for units.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{libertine} 
\usepackage{siunitx}

\begin{document}
\begin{equation}
\SI{100}{\micro\meter}
\end{equation}

\end{document}

You shouldn't be using eqnarray, first of all, but rather align.

\begin{align}
a &= b && \text{something\footnotemark} \\
c &= d && \text{other}
\end{align}
\footnotetext{text of the footnote}

While \footnote works in equation, it doesn't in other alignment environments.

Really strange demand..

Changing math font may help you---font Euler can be loaded by \usepackage{euler}.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{euler}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\[
    E = mc^2.
\]
\end{document}

In addition, \usepackage[LGRgreek]{mathastext} may be what you are looking for, see here:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[LGRgreek]{mathastext}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\[
    E = mc^2.
\]
\end{document}

Or, if you want to use your own font, have a look at the section 3.4 "Declaring math alphabets" of document fntguide (type texdoc fntguide in terminal window).

Indeed, I strongly advise not to do evil things like printing all math upright.. PLUS ONE.
