Hi,
Many thanks Hans: now xits fonts work as before (with ConTeXt ver:
2010.09.24 11:40 MKIV fmt: 2010.9.24).
However, for some reason it seems that the white space (or should I say
the glue?) between some operators such as \int and the following
characters is too big.
For instance the following
%%%% begin xits-int.tex
\starttext
\startbuffer[Test]
Since $F(u)={\rm e}^{x/n}$, it is clear that
\startformula
\int {\rm e}^x = F(u)^n.
\stopformula
\stopbuffer
\getbuffer[Test]
\switchtobodyfont[xits]
\getbuffer[Test]
\stoptext
%%%% end xits-int.tex
results in the attached PDF: notice the difference between the integral
sign in LM and in xits.
I am just reporting the issue for debugging, since one may always write
\int\!\!\! to add a manual correction, but this is not a « solution ».
Best and warmest regards: OK

Another problem is
\setupbodyfont[xits]
\startTEXpage[offset=1ex]
$k\choose n$
\stopTEXpage

Seems like another italic correction related issue. Taco, should the
italic correction be ignored if the \int does not have scripts?

This gets sort of ridiculous, as *ignoring* the italic correction is not
good enough, it has to be explicitly substracted from the glyph width
(at least that is the case for the integrals with subscripts so I
assume that that will apply here as well). Why on earth would someone
design a font in this manner ?!
Anyway, a small test file would be helpful, as it should not be hard
to do. Can you create a tracker?
Best wishes,
Taco

is this to be hardcoded or do we need flags for that so that we can set
the method depending on the font .. implementing redicoulous specs
sounds somewhat strange

AFAICT, both XITS and Cambria integrals should look OK with no italic
correction applied (both have around .1em right side bearing) and no
negative italic correction is needed.
I'll open a tracker issue with a test file.

Khaled
