Neglecting that this is not a MiKTeX-specific question, have a look at
cbgreek.txt (in ...\doc\fonts\cbgreek); this file tells you what to do
(for both TeX and LaTeX users). If you use LaTeX, this document
recommends to use the babel package. The fonts I get are upright,
unlike the greek letters that you get within the math mode
evironments.
Re. Christopher Heckman's comment: I don't know whether the Greek
fonts referred to by me above are what the initiator of this thread is
looking for. But still: the (lowercase) Greek letters (Greek
minuscules) of the math mode environments are italics (cursive), but
are not, well, upright (= non-italics, 'regular'). $\Gamma$ gives you
a capital letter (majuscule) that is, in fact, upright, because in the
maths Greek font, minuscules, e.g., $\gamma$, are italics, while
majuscles are upright. In a proper ('normal' non-maths) Greek font,
both minuscules and majuscules are, in their regular usage, upright,
and \usepackage[greek]{babel} or \usepackage[english,greek]{babel},
etc., will do, I think, what was asked for (in LaTeX). (Cf. both
cbgreek.txt and user.dvi [in ...\doc\generic\Babel] for details; the
latter one is particularly useful if one wants to have both Greek
fonts and Roman fonts in one and the same document. As pointed out
above, there is some info on TeX users in cbgreek.txt.)
Post by ProginoskesWhat don't you like about $\Gamma$ (as opposed to $\gamma$)?
I'm not sure what you mean by "upright" (or "roman") otherwise.
