Assuming you are referring to a font (or set of symbols), I would think that first of all you'd have to have the font installed (in Windows). Once the font is installed, just create a text style using that font, and then apply that style to your annotation.

I didn't know what LaTeX [that seems to be the uppercase-lowercase combination they use] is, either, but I found something about it here. It's not anything like a font, but rather a programming language, so I doubt very much you can use it in AutoCAD; it would need to be embedded in the program similarly to the way AutoLISP is. [If it's incorporated into later versions than mine, someone out there will know about it, but you can find out easily enough with a Search for references to it in Help.]
There are a variety of symbol fonts available. But there is one important point: AutoCAD isn't a word processor any more than MS Word is a drafting tool.
AutoCAD isn't used in such a manner, especially when there are so many dedicated software packages designed (and certified) for that kind of analysis. AutoCAD is very extensible though. There very well could be a means to create a plug-in.
FWIW -- autodesk supplies a Mathematics symbol fiont in SHX format that you can use. Heck, there's even an shx file you can use for atrology if that's what you want.
seach your machines for sy*.shx, and rock on.
No, it's not LaTex, but it's what there is,
Along with almost every TTF font out there in the wwworld.
Thanks to Autodesk,Thanks to Autocad .
Autocad has given so flexible geometric framework that i feel obliged with this fact that somehow shx fonts are so powerful.It is similar wish to support Latex Export from the Autocad system to make many more things. Every well known Journal in world asks documentations in .tex formats (only) which becomes very tedious to prepare if some automated export facility is not there.
In Sanjoy Nath's Geometrifying Trigonometry(C) we have prepared Thousands of CAD files and exported these as pdf files and also jpeg files in three hours through the use of Auto Lisp on Autocad platform. Thanks to @dbhunia for his amazing Lisp codes on LOCKED_SET of Geometrifying Trigonometry(C) NARRAYS , Thanks to @CodeDing to make such good effort on LINE_SEGMENT_ALGEBRA LOCK_FREE_SET implementation on CAD through AUTOLISP
It is wish for direct export option for LATEX (.tex) format.Every scientific journal asks for .tex files while submitting papers or articles.It is taking more than months to compile a 3 hours(Too much powerful Autocad +AUTOLISP)work into LATEX
