Units module and unbowed letters ..

Units module and unbowed letters ..

[Jaroslav Hajtmar]

Hello ConTeXist.

When I work with Units module, I gain at the output of the greek "mi" 
letter an italic font.
It seems strange. It is so in terms of typography correctly or not?
Can also be used for typing (with units module) unbowed letters?


Thanx
Jaroslav Hajtmar


Here is my example:


\usemodule[units]
\usetypescript[times][texnansi]
\setupbodyfont[times,12pt]


\starttext

5\,\Micro\Meter

5\,\uMeter

5\,μm

\stoptext

I  can't help  you  with that,  since  I don't  use  the module.  An
alternative would be  to use the built-in command  \unit, it outputs
the µ upright.

\usetypescript[times][texnansi]
\setupbodyfont[times,12pt]

\starttext
	\unit{5 micro metre}
\stoptext
