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

Hmmm, now that you are writhing this ... as a normal user I had a write
access issue there, but as root I get with my tetex installation the output

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

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?
