None of those glyphs were changed in XITS, they are exactly the same as the ones in STIX fonts, so possibly ConTeXt is using the wrong Unicode character for those symbols. The later two are smaller with LaTeX package unicode-math. > {\sc Word} % not supported ?! Right, there is no smallcaps, probably you can use some other Times-like font for smallcaps. > $\tilde{W}^i$ $W^i$ % using a superscript in case > % an accent is used results in > % a too small distance between letter > % and superscript Looks like a ConTeXt issue, both render the same with (xe|lua)latex (using unicode-math). > $f^i$ % distance too small (seems to be just the case for $f$, see e.g. $h^i$ $t^i$) Looks fine here.
