Hi, Have you tries U+1024 or LETTER CAPITAL H WITH CIRCUMFLEX? True not all Fonts might not have it and it is TEXT not Math. Just a thought. regards Keith. Am 31.07.2013 um 00:04 schrieb Michael Murphy murphy...@gmail.com: Hello all, I'm trying to typeset 'H' with a circumflex

I did try that, but it doesn't seem to exist in my font. Besides, I'm inclined to agree with Khaled on math accents. I think that what I'm trying to do shouldn't be that hard, I just want the \mathhat accent to be placed a little higher. Something like \skew in plain TeX, but in the vertical

Hi Hans, Thanks for the response. This is sort of what I wanted, except the \widehat is, well, quite wide. So I hacked it around a bit to put the \widehat from a capital 'I' on top of a capital 'H'. In case it happens to be helpful, the final macro was

Tangential to your issue, but nota bene: instead of $...$ for inline math, ConTeXt lets you use \math{...} or \m{...}. Which is a bit more explicit, and can be easier to debug. You might prefer it. For display math, you really should use \startformula...\stopformula if you aren’t using it
