\defineXMLentity [00B5] {\textmu}

seems to deliver an italic mu when using the standard font. Is there a way to get a 'straight' one?

I don't know about XML, but perhaps these two lines will help you:

\usetypescript[modern-base][texnansi] \setupbodyfont[modern]

Peter,

hm, texnansi is the name, so the fact that something texansi runs means that it is ignored

Perhaps you need to update the latin-modern package, since tex cannot find the font metics file: texnansi-lmr10.tfm Cheers, Taco
