mkiv: missing \colon, \colonequals is just an equality sign
It seems that \colon is missing and \colonequals is mapped to the wrong symbol in the latest mkiv (I'm using the minimals). A minimal example: \starttext \startitemize \item $\colon$ \item $\colonequals$ \stopitemize \stoptext No colon is generated from the first command (in fact, nothing at all appears), and the $\colonequals$ produces an equality sign, not a ":=".

I am not sure what is the right way to fix this. I am attaching a patch that works, but this might break the mathdesign virtual fonts. In that case, we need separate vectors for gyre and mathdesign. Apply this to math-vfu.lua and regenerate formats. Aditya

That did the trick -- thanks. Jesse
