fontspreamble
I'm using Palatino font for my thesis calling in the preamble
\usepackage[sc]{mathpazo}
\linespread{1.05}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english,italian]{babel}
To use eulervm which is the correct way to call it? Before fontenc or after?
There's probably something in your preamble messing things, because, by default, the italics of Palatino match the height of the roman:
Here's the code I used:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[sc]{mathpazo}
\parindent=0em
\begin{document}
\textit{is expected to integrate with current}\par
xt three propositions (\textit{A softw}\par
\textit{software architecture quality} \textbf{(P2)},\par
\textbf{(P4))} are also confirmed: en\par
\end{document}
I'd go directly to unicode-math:
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{mathtools} % loads amsmath that should go before unicode-math
\usepackage{unicode-math}
\setmainfont[Numbers=OldStyle]{Palatino Linotype}
\setsansfont{Optima}
\setmonofont{Consolas}
\setmathfont{Asana Math}
Asana Math is based on the MathPaZo fonts.
If you really need brackets and parentheses from the MathPaZo fonts, it's doable:
\DeclareSymbolFont{brackets} {OT1}{zplm}{m}{n}
\SetSymbolFont{brackets}{bold} {OT1}{zplm}{b}{n}
\DeclareSymbolFont{largebrackets} {OMX}{zplm}{m}{n}
\SetSymbolFont{largebrackets}{bold}{OMX}{zplm}{m}{n}
\DeclareMathDelimiter{(}{\mathopen} {brackets}{"28}{largebrackets}{"00}
\DeclareMathDelimiter{)}{\mathclose}{brackets}{"29}{largebrackets}{"01}
\DeclareMathDelimiter{[}{\mathopen} {brackets}{"5B}{largebrackets}{"02}
\DeclareMathDelimiter{]}{\mathclose}{brackets}{"5D}{largebrackets}{"03}
For the Knuth calligraphic font, add
\setmathfont[range={\mathcal,\mathbfcal},StylisticSet=1]{XITS Math}
For a "better" \vDash symbol, add
\setmathfont[range=\vDash]{XITS Math}
The "not belonging to" symbol should always be specified with \notin rather than with \not\in.
Finally, for the AMS blackboard bold:
\DeclareSymbolFont{AMSb}{U}{msb}{m}{n}
\protected\def\mathbb#1{{\mathchar\numexpr256*\symAMSb+`#1\relax}}
Best Answer
By loading only
palatinoyou lose the true small caps font provided bymathpazoand also the possibility of using old style figures.So
is the best option.
