How to set font for units

How to set font for units

[Frank]

Hello,

How do I setup the font used by the SI-Unit abbreviations.

I use something like the following:

\usemodule[units]
\setupbodyfont[pos,sansserif]

\starttext

The wavelength of the pulsed Nd:YAG laser is 1.064 \Micro\Meter.

\stoptext

The bodytext is in Helvetica, but the units are in times. How can I 
setup ConTeXt to use the sans-serif font for the units as well?

Regards,


Frank

Hello, Frank.

I was also really confused by this for a while. The command to make the
units in the body (or local) font is:
\textdimensionstrue

Without it, I believe units are in the Math font.

hope that helps,
adam
