It’s in the Preferences

Change the “Primary font” to Euclid, change the “Greek and math fonts” to
Euclid Symbol and Euclid Extra, as shown in the dialog above, and then click
Apply. On screen, your equation will now look like this:
and if printed will look like this:

exp ( )uxφσ= ⋅ + y
The Euclid fonts supplied with MathType are based on the Computer Modern
fonts typically used with
T
E
X
, so they give your documents a
T
E
X
-like
appearance that you might prefer for some types of work. Another benefit of the
Euclid fonts is that their regular and Greek characters have a consistent size,
whereas Times and Symbol are somewhat mismatched. Of course, if you use the
Euclid fonts in your equations, you will probably want to use Euclid as the
primary body font in your word processing document, too.
