Hi Aditya,
I tested your solution and it works great. I cannot see any problems in 
my output.
I wish I had your Tex programming skills, I am trying to learn the 
language myself from
the TexBook (D.Knuth) but I still have a long way to go.

BTW

Thanks for your comment on the div, rot.
I indeed defined the div and rot in text font, it is defined in one of 
my environment settings.
Attached my small Context script to confirm your solution

Again thanks for your help,
Kind regards
Wim
