textmu non-italic?

textmu non-italic?

[Johannes Graumann]

Hello,

\defineXMLentity    [00B5]  {\textmu}

seems to deliver an italic mu when using the standard font. Is there a way
to get a 'straight' one?

Thanks, Joh

I don't know about XML, but perhaps these two lines will help you:

\usetypescript[modern-base][texnansi]
\setupbodyfont[modern]

Peter,

'texnansi' didn't compile, but 'texansi' did ... however under
\setupbodyfont[modern,12pt] \textmu still delivers an italicized
version ...

hm, texnansi is the name, so the fact that something texansi runs means that it is ignored

the only thing i know is that tetex has many additional tree locations, esp texmf-var (or vartexmf or ...) depending on access and so; i always install tex in a dedicated tree (something /tex or /data/tex or so) with all things (including binaries) there

Perhaps you need to update the latin-modern package, since tex
cannot find the font metics file: texnansi-lmr10.tfm

Cheers, Taco

This issue is awaiting improved font encodings (text companion|symbols).
If Adam Lindsay is listening in, he schould be able to comment on
expected time-lines?
