superscript spacing: xits math font

superscript spacing: xits math font

[Andreas Mang]

Hi there,

Likewise to an issue reported earlier to this list (Math & other issues for TL 2012) there seems to be a problem with the spacing of the superscript in the xits math font, which cannot be controlled via the "setupmathematics[italix=n]" option:

%%% start example 
\setupbodyfont[xits]

\starttext
${\cal P}^hx$
$P^h_mx$
$C^hx$
$W^{-1}x$ 
\stoptext
%%% stop example

For me (ConTeXt ver: 2012.08.10 00:32 MKIV fmt: 2012.8.10) these examples yield a too small spacing / negative spacing between the letter and the corresponding superscript. Any ideas?

Cheers,
Andreas 

Not quite sure if this is a pure font problem and should be sent to some other place than this list?

It seems that ConTeXt is either stripping the italic correction from the
font or not passing it to the TeX backend, which would explain the two
issues you have.
