Not “better,” but maybe simpler: you can just scale the cdot; if you want to be 
fancy, you can make a macro and center it vertically, but the basic process 
would be:

\starttext

\getglyph{file:xits-math.otf}{\char"00B7}
\space
\getscaledglyph{1.2}{file:xits-math.otf}{\char"00B7}
\space
\getscaledglyph{1.6}{file:xits-math.otf}{\char"00B7}
\space
\getscaledglyph{2}{file:xits-math.otf}{\char"00B7}

\stoptext

So knock yourself out...

Re: [NTG-context] Thicker \cdot ?

[Weber, Matthias]

It looks like Metapost is a good way of doing this.
If anybody knows a better way, please let me know.


\def\fatdot{\startMPcode
h := \strutheight-\strutdepth;
k:=h/2;
pickup pencircle scaled k;
setbounds currentpicture to boundingbox unitsquare xyscaled (2*h, h);
  drawdot (h, h/2);
  \stopMPcode}

\starttext

\startformula
a \cdot b \fatdot c \bullet d
\stopformula

\stoptext

[NTG-context] Thicker \cdot ?

[Weber, Matthias]

Dear List,

I am looking for a ConTeXt way to create a thicker \cdot (but not as thick as 
\bullet).


Minimal non-example

\starttext
\startformula
 a \cdot[1mm] b 
\stopformula
\stoptext

does not accomplish anything useful….


Thanks -
