Re: Problems with superscripts and macros

Hi Frank,

Yes that is true, the module switches to roman or math respectiely UNLESS 
you state the following at
the beginning of your document:

\textdimensionstrue

Hereafter the units are typeset in the current bodyfont. - Sorry, but I do 
not know, what happens to the
"mü" ..
