[Tex/LaTex] uppercase font for whole document

fonts

Is there in Latex something like Technic Font in Adobe/OpenOffice?
I want basically the whole document in uppercase, incl. the headlines (like those 'Chapter 1') etc. by declaring one package or just something simple for declaration at the beginning. I will go crazy if I have to use \textsc{…} for every single paragraph! (Plus it does not change the headings.)

Example of Technic Font created with Adobe Family below.

..and if I try using uppercase only font, the following thing happens:

It only prints out the capital letters. It does not convert the normal letters into uppercase.

It's quite easy to get as ugly as possible typesetting, not only with MS^® Word™, but also with XeLaTeX. Just ride your imagination.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\setmainfont{Alegreya Sans SC}

\begin{document}

\section{A Section Title}

\lipsum[1-2]

Enough!

\end{document}

You don't like Alegreya? Here's a lighter version:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\setmainfont{TeX Gyre Adventor}[Letters=SmallCaps]

\begin{document}

\section{A Section Title}

\lipsum[1-2]

Enough!

\end{document}

Imho there is no chance for a generic solution in legacy tex. There are always some small differences between the math font packages.

Regarding a pxfonts specific solution: Imho it is not impossible but it would be time consuming to set it up. In legacy tex the greek symbols are spread around: Some uppercase upright greek chars in OT1, some italic upper + lowercase in OML, the rest must probably be pulled from LGR, in the case of the pxfonts from the special font provided by the package. If you really cared only about \mathrm you could probably do something like this:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{pxfonts}
\let\deltait\delta

\makeatletter
\renewcommand\delta
 {%
   \ifnum\fam=0 \deltaup\else \deltait\fi
 }

\begin{document}

\begin{equation}
\delta \mathrm{\delta} 
\end{equation}

\end{document}

But it wouldn't expand to \mathbf and so I don't consider it a real solution.

But with xelatex/lualatex and unicode-math your example works fine (I changed the \Omega to \ohm in the \SI-argument):

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[math-style=ISO]{unicode-math}
\setmainfont{TeX Gyre Pagella}
\setmathfont{TeX Gyre Pagella Math}
\usepackage{siunitx}

\begin{document}
\begin{equation}
    \Phi_{\symrm{\delta}} = \SI{42}{\micro\ohm} \cdot \delta_{\symrm{\Phi}} 
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
P_{\symrm{d}} = \SI{42}{\nano\ampere} \cdot d_{\symrm{P}}
\end{equation}
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Sans and monospace font match for STIX Two

i've checked with the font developers charged with "cleaning up" the stix 2 fonts.

the basic text font is modeled on times roman, as noted.

the sans and monospace characters in unicode plane 1 are the outlines from stix 1. they are both slated for cleanup and some redesign (but as far as i know that is not yet scheduled). the developer says this:

I don't know if you could say that there is a direct model for any of the sans, it is simply intended to work decently with the rest of the font stylistically. The math monospaced glyphs are also the outlines from 1.x, [...] but as with most other math monospaced are a modified Courier.

regarding selecting compatible fonts for sans serif and monospace text, again from the developer:

I think if one had to choose a matching Sans, there are a number of candidates, but yes, Helvetica and Courier are as good as any, if we consider availability issues.

there is plenty of advice in other questions on this site regarding adjustments in relative size (e.g., normalizing x-height) to these fonts for the sake of compatibility of appearance.
