Hi Sanjoy,
I agree with you to say that the position of subscripts and superscripts in mkiv is not perfect: the same remark applies to the position of the derivative sign « prime » as $u’(t)$.
Actually in mkii (and also in plain TeX) the positions of the superscripts in your example are the same, but this is not the case with subscripts: $x_{3}\ x\mathstrut_{3}$ that is in mkii the latter $x\mathstrut_{3}$ gives a lower subscript, while in plain TeX both subscripts are positioned at an identical depth.
I would say the position of subscripts and superscripts in mkiv should be identical with one gets with the latest beta (version 2014.03.20 16:59) in the following example \starttext $x\mathstrut_{3}$ and $x\mathstrut^{3}$ \stoptext
However as Hans pointed out, regarding maths typesetting in mkiv there are also some font related issues.
we have a more modern implementation in the next beta ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
