Dear list and Hans, I recently realized that by default capital greek letters are italic. I believe that the default should be "normal", i.e. upright. %%% Test file %\setupmathematics[ucgreek=normal] % comment out to get nice upright greek captial letters :) \starttext $\Theta$ \stoptext %%% End test file What do others think? Best regards, Mikael

Hi Mikael, It all depends on the style of the book or the journal: some have their capital Greek letters in italic, some have it upright. The main point is to have consistency. Since ConTeXt allows both behavior, everything seems fine to me. Best regards: OK

I think that upgreek=normal should be default, just because it is default in MkII and there is no particular reason to change that. Aditya
