Hi there,
As Aditya mentioned in a former posting (*) that "\text{ ... }" should scale properly when used as super- or subscript, I have prepared a minimal example to demonstrate that it doesn't. In my document I have switched from "\text{ }" to "\normal", which works.
Kind regards, Andreas

\starttext
$f_{\text{text}_{\text{text}_{\text{text}}}}$
$f_{{\normal text}_{{\normal text}_{\normal text}}}$

Hello, I generally use \mathrm{} (maybe this is a leftover from LaTeX practice), and this works fine. Alan \setupbodyfont [xits] \starttext $f_{\mathrm{text}_{\mathrm{text}_{\mathrm{text}}}}$ $f_{{\normal text}_{{\normal text}_{\normal text}}}$ \stoptext
