I think you are right, I don't know if this is really desired, but I don't think so. Escpecially one gets problems with 2 in the denominator. \setupbodyfont [dejavu,12pt] \starttext $1/2$ $1\,/\,2$ \stoptext The second hand-tuned example is obviously nicer. it looks like a font issue to me .. i could hack a solution but prefer not to do that (the less exceptions we have the better) Not a font issue. ConTeXt is using the fraction slash (which is intended to be used with vulgar fractions) not the regular slash. the problem is that (last time i looked into this) all math fonts had it differently so i (for the moment) setteld on it I'd use the regular slash and consider fonts without a proper one (depends on what you expect from the slash) to be broken. Incidentally, unicode-math package provide an option to select which slash character to use because of this.

[NTG-context] not getting latest beta from Suite
Dear list, as Alan pointed two days ago, running: rsync -ptv rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/first-setup.sh . ./first-setup.sh --modules=all gets beta from 2013.10.15 13:52, while I think it should get beta from 2013.10.20 07:09. I’m on Fedora 19, not on MacOSX (just in case anyone wonders). I guess this may be a bug.

From how these display (in DejaVu monospace), I would think that the division slash is what should be used. I can revert to 002F and (if needed make a patch in lfg files) but you're right with respect to xits and 2215 (002F does not have a descender which looks somewhat weird).

[NTG-context] ConTeXt Suite and system fonts
Dear list, since the topic isn’t specific to MacOSX, I’m starting a new thread. [I assume that OSFONTDIR won’t be set by default in Linux. I’m fine with that.] I think system fonts should be enabled by default in Win and Mac. I think it is a nice feature to newcomers. Of course, Thomas is fully right in requesting not to be forced to use the system fonts. Being the default the use of system fonts, wouldn’t it be possible to add an argument such as --disable-osfontdir to first-setup?

Most of the time packages written on top of TikZ can relatively painlessly be ported to plain TeX and ConTeXt even if they have been written for LaTeX only. My impression is that this is a LaTeX-only package, but with sufficient interest from both the author and someone familiar with ConTeXt providing the feedback, getting a working version is doable (of course one could rewrite the package for ConTeXt, but it makes a lot more sense to fix the original one). Mojca Thanks, Mojca, for your offert and investigation about that it's latex-related. I don't need this package as a vital one, but it's good if someone could port it. Aka, put it in wish list. Perhaps you could contact main developer for program the package in both systems: latex and context, like TikZ is for.
