I am writing a book using MS Word 2007. The book will have lots of mathematical calculations, equations, formulas, square-root symbols, squares and cube symbols, etc. and will span across algebra, polynomial equations, differentiation, integration, etc.
Can someone please suggest a few good FREE fonts that I can use conveniently in MS Word 2007 edition for writing the book?
Thanks in advance.
PS: I raised this question here, but users suggested that it should be asked in this forum.

The author of the articleMath Fonts in Microsoft Officehas researched the issue and listed three fonts:
- XITS Math is somewhat compatible with Times (download here)
- Asana Math is compatible with Palatino (download here) and if you don’t have Palatino, you can download it here, among other places
- Latin Modern is the LaTeX font of choice. There is a math font (download here) and a whole family of text fonts (download here). Note: these may not look good on screen, but they look just perfect when printed.
The author has provided this comparison to help choose one of the three:
