I'd been wrestling with that for a while before I wrote the remark, but I could not make that work in ConTeXt. Perhaps somebody else knows. Anyway, I think \textmu (which is probably only used for denoting 'micro'-units) should preferably be upright in roman text (and italic in italic text, bold in bold etc) but that is a bit complicated because it is not available in the ec encoding. It should be possible to switch the encoding for just a single command, but I could not figure out how. I tried to do something like \def\textmu{{\useecoding[texnansi]\char 181 }} but that doesn't work. Taco
