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. 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. Thanks, Leif Albers
