\setupbodyfont [dejavu,12pt] \starttext $a/b$

$1/2$

$π/3$ \stoptext

Is this indeed the desired spacing? What do others think?

Thanks.

I think you are right, I don't know if this is really desired, but I don't think so. Escpecially one gets problems with "2" in the denominator. \setupbodyfont [dejavu,12pt] \starttext $1/2$ $1\,/\,2$ \stoptext The second hand-tuned example is obviously nicer. Huseyin

it looks like a font issue to me .. i could hack a solution but prefer not to do that (the less exceptions we have the better) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Not a font issue. ConTeXt is using the fraction slash (which is intended to be used with vulgar fractions) not the regular slash. Regards, Khaled

the problem is that (last time i looked into this) all math fonts had it differently so i (for the moment) setteld on it Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

I'd use the regular slash and consider fonts without a proper one (depends on what you expect from the slash) to be broken. Incidentally, unicode-math package provide an option to select which slash character to use because of this. Regards, Khaled
