Re: [dev-context] Re: [NTG-context] Bug in math accents (analyzed)
Taco has found the reason why \mathaccents may get dislocated in slanted
or italic fonts
The problem is that your code does not set \skewchar for the \scriptfont
and \scriptscriptfont of the relevant math families. You need to make sure
you set all three of \textfont X, \scriptfont X and \scriptscriptfont X.
This requires some minor rewriting of a few macros in font-ini.tex.
I could do that for you, but my coding style is not even remotely
similar to yours so I wager you'd rather do it yourself. ;-)
font-ini needs the following patch
\appendtoks
\dosetmathfamily\mrfam\textface\scriptface\scriptscriptface\c!mr\mrfallback

we can consider to add 'improvements' to math dimensions in a similar
way as protruding and hz, i.e. as a handling; that way they get set at
definition time automatically
anyhow, the solution for your hackery is:
\definetypeface[new][rm][serif][times][default][encoding=texnansi]

You doesn't define a step mode, so there's no output.

You can use --mode=something switch only for environments like
