How to get upright integral symbol? $$\int_a^b f$$ renders to slanted symbol (common in ordinary latex). Thank you, S.

The MathJax fonts do not include an upright integral sign, so there is
no way to do this. While the STIX fonts do include upright versions
of the integrals, MathJax does not have the metric data for the
upright integrals (only the slanted ones). The proper handling of
integrals in both in-line and display mode, and proper placement of
limits, baseline, and so on, require the accurate metric information.
While it would be possible to provide that data, it would rely on your
readers having the STIX fonts installed. Is that going to be the case?

Hi, Davide -

Have you updated the STIX metric data to include upright integrals between 2012 and now? If so, am I still using the &#8747; unicode character? Please advise. Thanks! - Jean

No, nothing has changed on that front.  Also, note that the upright versions are not included in the STIX-Web fonts, so you would only be able to use them if the reader had locally installed versions of the STIX fonts.

That's what I needed to know. Thanks!
