Latin Modern Math font has slanted integrals: http://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry/lm-math XITS Math have default slanted integrals as well as optional upright ones: https://github.com/khaledhosny/xits-math Both fonts use the new OpenType MATH table and thus need an application that support it for proper math typesetting, namely MS Office 2007+, XeTeX and LuaTeX.

XITS Math supports the mathematical variants using variation sequences that are listed here: http://unicode.org/reports/tr25/tr25-9.html#_Toc218 > PS: should these symbols exist in non-Truetype fonts > I'd be interested in pointers as well, but preferably > from someone who would know how to convert > them into TrueType format. Many TeX math fonts have slanted integrals. Regards, Khaled
