I forgot to explain why this is so. When a file is loaded, the replacements in lib/unicodesymbols are applied. Thus, if one enters \AA in a textmode environment, when the file is reloaded it gets replaced by Å which is not a MathMacro and thus is not enclosed in \ensuremath. But, if \AA is entered in a math mode environment, no replacement takes place. It would stay in red with Günter's patch and would cause latex errors. Instead, with the patch I propose the macro is diplayed as Å and enclosed in a text mode environment, thus avoiding compile errors. -- Enrico
