Size of subscript notations

Hi, To type my lessons or other, I use the Modern font in 12 pt or 11 pt. I find that the subscript notations are a little too big : how can I improve this ? Thanks Fabrice \m{ \forall n \in N, z_{n+1}=\frac{i}{3}z_n}

you could try something like (here with too small numbers only to show...) \mapfontsize[modern][script] [.4] \mapfontsize[modern][scriptscript][.2] \setupbodyfont[modern,10pt] \startTEXpage[offset=1DK] \m{3^{2^3}} \stopTEXpage I hope it helps. /Mikael

Thank you for your suggestion but in the following example the operational
symbol is too big as well as the number 1.
\mapfontsize[modern][script] [.4]
\mapfontsize[modern][scriptscript][.2]
\setupbodyfont[modern,12pt]
\startTEXpage[offset=1DK]
\m{z_{n+1}}
\stopTEXpage

Strange, here it looks OK. Maybe something that will be solved when there is an update then. /Mikael

In fact, I get the same expected result with the context from TeXLive (2023).

Perhaps the size should be even smaller because I personally find it still
a little large.
PS : In a thread, I thought I read that you had written a document on the
use of mathematics with ConTeXt, true or false?

But that would imply different scaling for different content.

It is in the writing, but it takes some time (working on it tonight). I hope to have it out in some form in a not too distant future. /Mikael
