How to use times new roman font (requiring \usepackag​e{newtxtex​t,newtxmat​h}) when using latex interpreter to plot a figure?

I am writing a paper which requires the times new roman text and equation. I have equations in figures, these equations look terrible when I tried to use tex interpreter. However, when I changed to latex interpreter, I could not change the font. I have looked for answers for a while, I found this:

https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/368641-add-more-latex-packages-for-latex-interpreter-in-matlab?s_tid=srchtitle

Problem is still not solved. I am using the MTALAB 2021a update3 in a win10 computer. How to solve this problem? Thanks.

If you want latex-friendly plot from matlab, you can try the following package:

https://github.com/matlab2tikz/matlab2tikz

Then you have the freedom of editing the figures in latex.

It works, but not perfect. For some of my figures, the latex runs error with the message: out of memory. The reason is that there are too many data in these figures.

Besides, the lay outs, distance between the labels and axis,etc., are a little different with the figures I printed directly from matlab using Tex interpreter.

I think Mathworks should consider to solve this problem in the new version of Matlab.
