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" ..

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,

Hi,

the solution is to use the \usemodule[units] command in the beginning of your document.

When zou need to typset a unit you can say things like \Degrees Celsius, \Square\Meter or \Milli\Meter

Hello

I am having some big problems with superscripts. When I type:

-20$^\circ$C

I get the expected 20 degrees Celcius (-20oC)

However if I put the same sequence in a macro

\def\celcius{$^\circ$C} -20\celsius\ Dewpoint -20\celsius Dewpoint

I get as result:

-20 oCDewpoint -20DoCewpoint

Where o symbolizes the degree symbol.

What is going on, and more importantly how to solve it.

Best Regards,

Frank

Patrick, Thanks a lot, this was one nasty typo. My text looks a lot better using the correct macro. Regards, Frank On 2003, Nov 17, , at 15:33, Patrick Gundlach wrote:

What is going on,

you defined \celcius but used \celsius (s/c). \celsius is a predefined macro in ConTeXt. Use \celsius{-20} Dewpoint in your case.

The macro \celsius is smart about math mode: see the difference in

\celsius{-20} Dewpoint \par $\celsius{-20}$ Dewpoint \par \celsius{$-20$} Dewpoint

...

and more importantly how to solve it.

drop your macro or use it ;-)
