Hi,
this might be a matter of taste.
look at the output of (attached). In my opinion the first square root is to "high", while it looks better on the second line. From setup-en.pdf it looks like the default of \setupmathradical is set to normal (and not default). I don't understand what normal should mean, but I think the alternative=default looks better. (The lucida fonts are loaded in this example, since the effect is more clear for them).

\starttext
\startTEXpage[offset=2pt] \startformula \sqrt{1+x^2}\neq \frac{1}{\sqrt{1+x^2}} \stopformula
%the default setting for mathradical seems to be "normal". We change it to "normal" \setupmathradical[sqrt][alternative=default]
\startformula \displaystyle\sqrt{1+x^2}\neq \frac{1}{\sqrt{1+x^2}} \stopformula \stopTEXpage
\stoptext
Hans, maybe the \setupmathradical[sqrt][alternative=default] was not so successful after all. Or maybe this is a bug: %%% start of test file \setupmathradical[sqrt][alternative=default] \starttext \startformula \sqrt{1+\Bigl(\frac{f(x_k)-f(x_{k-1})}{x_k-x_{k-1}}\Bigr)^2} \stopformula \stoptext %%% stop of test file The numerator looks too small in my opinion.
