# Subscript text in a label, without slant?

Here is an example,

You can see that the the label is slanted. This is due to the subscript. Is there a way to obtain this label, with the subscript, but unslanted?

• Can't test, so: try wrapping the string in StandardForm[]. – J. M.'s ennui Sep 6 '17 at 16:01
• @J.M. That works, but now I cannot set the font of the label, which is important in a publication figure. – becko Sep 6 '17 at 16:04
• Then, try StandardForm[Style[string, FontFamily -> "Times"]]. – J. M.'s ennui Sep 6 '17 at 16:07
• @J.M. Thanks, that works. What I tried before was Style[StandardForm[string ..., which ignores the style specification. Feel free to post an answer. – becko Sep 6 '17 at 16:10
• I was spitballing since I don't have a computer at the moment. :) Please write an answer yourself if indeed you got it to work. – J. M.'s ennui Sep 6 '17 at 16:11

Changing the FormatType to StandardForm seems like overkill. Instead, I would recommend modifying the SingleLetterItalics option:
BarChart[{1}, ChartLabels->{Style[Subscript[A,x], SingleLetterItalics->False]}]

Following the suggestion of @J.M., simply use StandardForm[Style[string, FontFamily -> "Times"]] in the label.
