Thank you for the information. I can still bear to use upright \Omega.

This method works well for most letters, both bold and italic, but for
capital Greek \Omega \Gamma etc, bold but upright. Do you know how to make these letters in italic?

That is how Euler capital letters are supposed to look. It imitates the handwriting of mathematicians, which is upright and not italic. I do not know if there is a font that contains italic capital greek letters to match euler.

As you say, the hardwritten appearance is a feature of the euler fonts,
and I don't think you can find a matching font elsewhere. Hermann Zapfs
design is so distinctive that everything else will look out of place.

Best wishes,
Taco
