Continuing my recent theme of finding glyphs too low or too high:
The \pm symbol looks like it is set too low, in MkIV.
\setuppagenumbering[location=] \starttext $\pm2$ \stoptext
The minus part of the sign lies below the baseline, which looks odd relative to the horizontal stroke of the "2."
In MkII it is fine, as is the equivalent latex or plain tex (using LatinModern).
I don't know whether the problem lis in the font metrics or in the positioning by MkIV, because I haven't yet been able to convince tex, latex, lualatex, or luatex to use the same font (LM math).
In MkIV, the font is (from pdffonts):
NSOXNN+LatinModernMath-Regular CID Type 0C Identity-H
Can anyone confirm the problem?

I can confirm that it is too low in latest standalone. It looks OK at http://live.contextgarden.net/, though. I can also add that \surd is way too low in latest standalone (and only a bit to low in mkiv on http://live.contextgarden.net/, and OK in mkii on http://live.contextgarden.net/). \setuppagenumbering[location=] \starttext $\pm2$ and $\surd(1+2)$. \stoptext /Mikael
