As known, the letter "v" in Times in math looks very similar to the greek "\nu"<br>and both letters appear quite often.<br><br>Therefore the idea is to replace the replace the "v" with the rounded version
<br>from the NewCenturySchoolbook typeface (I found nothing better) - but not in<br>the upright fonts, only italics.<br></blockquote></div><br>Have you considered the rounded v in Belleek or txfonts? Both have rounded v's for use in italic mathematics. You can see samples in the math font survey at:
<br><a href="http://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/info/Free_Math_Font_Survey/">http://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/info/Free_Math_Font_Survey/</a><br>I believe the commercial MathTime fonts also have a rounded v. The advantage of using these packages is that the files for using the fonts in TeX/LaTeX have already been created.
