There seems to be some general confusion about how to reproduce your problem. I
can't reproduce it either, but here's a bit of speculation. Maybe what you were
using wasn't \[Micro], but \[Mu]. They look similar, but the Mathematica
rendering of \[Mu] (and all other Greek characters used in math) always has a
slanted appearance, which is exactly what you're complaining about.
So...go back to your problem notebook and try retyping the character as
\[Micro].
