upright lowercase Greek letters in math formulas

upright lowercase Greek letters in math formulas

[Mojca Miklavec]

Hi,

How could I get upright lowercase Greek letters in math formulas
(provided that such a symbol exists, of course)?

Here's a minimal example:

\setupbodyfont[times]
\starttext
$15{\rm\frac{μm}{μs}}$ 15 μs
\stoptext

Thank you,
    Mojca

$\mathgreekupright 15{\rm\frac{μm}{μs}}$ 15 μs

I guess you are aware of \setupmathematics[lcgreek=normal] that makes
all lower case greek letters upright.

Thank you, that worked.

I don't want that. I would still like to be able to have italic
letters by default, for example for quantities like magnetic
permeability.

All I need is a switch to make *all* the letters upright, including
the Greek ones.

So the only question is: is it an oversight or is it on purpose that
\rm doesn't also switch the Greek letters to their upright form?

Use “lcgreek=none” and enable the upright, bold etc. symbols with the \tf, \bf etc. commands.

\setupbodyfont[times]

\setupmathematics[lcgreek=none]

\starttext

$ 15\frac{μm}{μs} \quad 15\frac{\tf μm}{\tf μs} $

\stoptext

Hi Mojca,

it seems font switches do not work here.

You must define your own commands for upright Greek letters, e.g.

    \def\muup {\Umathchar  "0"0"0000B5 }

At least this works, maybe there is a better way to do it.
