Hi, \setminus does not scale properly in xits. I am not sure if it is a bug in the font or in ConTeXt. \setupbodyfont[xits] \starttext $A \setminus B$ \stoptext Aditya

I don't have larger variants of that glyph, so it is not set to scale. If you can find larger glyphs in STIX, I'll use that, but right now all those slash/backslash-like glyphs confuse me (and STIX seems to have wired shapes compared to similar glyphs in other fonts).

It should not scale, but the default size is too small. Compare the size of \setminus in xtis from that in cambria or even LM. Just going by the glyph table at stix site, set minus should correspond to glyph 3991 in STIXGeneral.otf. I do not know how to view that glyph, so do not know if xtis uses the right glyph or not.

Yes, that what I meant by wired shapes (the slants are sometimes different from similar slashes in other fonts).

If you search for 02216 glyph, you will see there is a variant glyph in STIXVar.otf, if you think that variant should be the default I can do that and make the current one available as an optional glyph variant (I think I should check the rest of the STIXVar.otf font too, it was on my todo for a while now).

Dumb question, but how do I check a specific glyph in a font. I tried \getglyph{STIXGeneral.otf}{\char2216} and \font\STIX=STIXGeneral.otf \STIX \char2216 but both of them give a blank character. Aditya

Use hex numbers: \starttext \definedfont[file:STIXGeneral.otf]\char"2216 \definedfont[file:STIXVar.otf]\char"2216 \stoptext Wolfgang
