Please use the following method to make the error more clear for us:

* delete everything unecessary * post the resulting code * (there is no step three)

So it comes down to something like:

\setupbodyfont[lbr,14pt] \starttext \startformula -1=+1 \stopformula \stoptext

which typesets -1 1

removing the \setupbodyfont is the key to the = and + sign. Perhaps this is enough for others to track down the error. Sorry I don't know further.

here i get -1 = +1 maybe you run a special version of tex that has a math correctness test in it Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

:p [it wouldn't surprise me if DEK were *capable* of doing such a thing...] Actually, it reminds me quite a bit of one of the problems I had in some math experiments yesterday. For me, the key was in the equivalent lines to this: \starttypescript [math,boldmath] [lucida] [special] \usemathcollection[lbr] \stoptypescript (Something in the past year changed so that a [special] typescript is needed for a correct \usemathcollection.) So, in response to David, just to make sure: you *do* have the (non-free) Lucida fonts installed correctly? The typeset output is definitely Lucida, albeit incorrect? If so, then what about: \usetypescript [lucida] [\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont [lucida,14pt] \starttext etc. (Apologies if this is off the mark. I don't have the TeXish lbr fonts, so can't directly verify) -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
