Two years ago I already posted about following bug. I am amazed it still occurs in the present (beta) version of ConTeXt.
When I use math accents (like \tilde) on top of italic characters in subscripts, they appear displaced.
A trivial example is
-------------------- SNIPP -------------------- \starttext $ E_{\tilde s} $ \stoptext -------------------- SNIPP --------------------
Compare the output to the plain TeX output of "$ E_{\tilde s} $ \end", and you will see the difference - watch the position of the accent.
hm, it depends on the definition of \tilde; i must look into that
\starttext
$ E_{\tilde s} $$ E_{\def\tilde{\mathaccent"707E }\tilde s} ${\~s}\stoptext
Maybe some italic correction is needed here; or a tilde from an italic font : question for Taco, btw, in contex, \tilde in this case expands to
\mathaccent "0\purefamilyhex {mr}7Ewhich is the plain definition, so i wonder what goes wrong there.
I really like the design of ConTeXt. But as long as this bug occurs, ConTeXt is useless to me.
Dear developers: *please* send me a reply of some sort. Writing bug reports is time consuming and should at least be rewarded with a single line response. Even a "RTFM - you idiot" is better than no reaction at all.
