Hi Hans,
Nice to hear that the official math fonts are good enough to be the default now!

Does the following description ring true? If yes, all I need to do is
find a place on the wiki to put it.
By default, ConTeXt's math font is Latin Modern Math, or Pagella
Math/Termes Math if you specified \setupbodyfont[palatino] c.q.
\setupbodyfont[times]. There exist also virtual versions of these
fonts; these virtual versions are essentially the body font
counterparts with lots of display-modifying tweaks piled on to make
them behave like math fonts. These virtual versions were used for a
time while the math fonts were in development. If you still want to
use the virtual fonts, you can write
\enablemode[txmath,pxmath,lmmath]
at the top of your document. This does not set the math font directly,
but specifies that if the Pagella/Termes/LM math font is used, ConTeXt
should use the virtual font rather than the non-virtual one.

Futher: I see in math-vfu.lua the following comment: "There are still
areas where the virtuals are better." Which areas are these?

And what would you get instead -- 12pt Latin Modern, or something else?
Cheers,
