Re: Problems with superscripts and macros

[Frank <maillist@sonnemans.net>]

Hi,

I actually dropped the use of the units module because it uses a roman 
font where my text is in Helvetica. There is a trick to make the units 
module use a sans-serif font, but in that case the \mu greek character 
comes out as m, which is not what I wanted.

Thanks for the feedback though.

Regards,

Frank
