Hello,
I've just read Taco's comment on the new feature-requests-page on the wiki, and I wonder how it's done in LaTeX.
LaTeX in ec encoding (that's what fontenc calls T1) takes the \textmu from the associated 'text companion' font, which is encoded in 'TS1'.
Isn't there a possibility to use ec-encoding for the main-font, and for some exceptions such as \textmu another encoding?
I'd been wrestling with that for a while before I wrote the remark, but I could not make that work in ConTeXt. Perhaps somebody else knows. Anyway, I think \textmu (which is probably only used for denoting 'micro'-units) should preferably be upright in roman text (and italic in italic text, bold in bold etc) but that is a bit complicated because it is not available in the ec encoding. It should be possible to switch the encoding for just a single command, but I could not figure out how. I tried to do something like \def\textmu{{\useecoding[texnansi]\char 181 }} but that doesn't work. Taco
