we have a more modern implementation in the next beta
I tested the following with various flavors:
$
x\mathstrut_{3} x_{3}
x^3 x\mathstrut^3
x^\circ x\mathstrut^\circ
20\mathstrut^\circ 20^\circ
$
Flavors that I tried:
2014.03.27 MkIV
2014.02.14 MkIV
2013.06.07 MkII (from latest beta)
Hi Sanjoy,
I agree with you to say that the position of subscripts and superscripts in
mkiv is not perfect: the same remark applies to the position of the derivative
sign « prime » as $u’(t)$.
Actually in mkii (and also in plain TeX) the positions of the superscripts in
your example are the

However as Hans pointed out, regarding maths typesetting in mkiv
there are also some font related issues.

I realized that this would also fix my issue with the superscripted
degree symbol coming out too low (which I had mysteriously thought
Dear math typesetting aficianados,
In the following example,
\starttext
$x^3\ x\mathstrut^3$
\stoptext
the superscript without the strut is about 2pt lower than with the
strut, using MkIV. With MkII or plain TeX, they are the same height
(at the higher position obtained by using the \mathstrut
