unitsdef – Typesetting units in LaTeX
Many packages for typesetting units have been written for use in LaTeX2ε. Some define macros to typeset a lot of units but do not suit to the actual font settings, some make the characters needed available but do not predefine any unit. This package tries to comply with both requirements. It predefines common units, defines an easy to use interface to define new units and changes the output concerning to the surrounding font settings.
