Hi, How could I get upright lowercase Greek letters in math formulas (provided that such a symbol exists, of course)? Here's a minimal example: \setupbodyfont[times] \starttext $15{\rm\frac{μm}{μs}}$ 15 μs \stoptext Thank you, Mojca

$\mathgreekupright 15{\rm\frac{μm}{μs}}$ 15 μs I guess you are aware of \setupmathematics[lcgreek=normal] that makes all lower case greek letters upright. /Mikael

Thank you, that worked.

I don't want that. I would still like to be able to have italic letters by default, for example for quantities like magnetic permeability. All I need is a switch to make *all* the letters upright, including the Greek ones. So the only question is: is it an oversight or is it on purpose that \rm doesn't also switch the Greek letters to their upright form? Mojca

Use “lcgreek=none” and enable the upright, bold etc. symbols with the \tf, \bf etc. commands. \setupbodyfont[times] \setupmathematics[lcgreek=none] \starttext $ 15\frac{μm}{μs} \quad 15\frac{\tf μm}{\tf μs} $ \stoptext Wolfgang

Hi Mojca, it seems font switches do not work here. You must define your own commands for upright Greek letters, e.g. \def\muup {\Umathchar "0"0"0000B5 } At least this works, maybe there is a better way to do it. Johannes Am 26.05.14 14:12, schrieb Mojca Miklavec:
