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].
