Dear Hans, dear Khaled, It seems that the xits fonts does not work anymore with the recent versions (at least since 2010-09-18): the integral signs are not properly scaled and the square root behaves strangely: minimal example below (and the resulting PDF, with ConTeXt ver: 2010.09.22 12:33 MKIV fmt: 2010.9.22 int: english/english, on Mac OS X 10.6.3): Best regards: OK %%% begin bug-xits-sqrt.tex \setupbodyfont[xits] \starttext Note that $\int_{0}^{2\pi} \sin(x)dx = 0$, while \startformula \int_{0}^{2\pi} \sin^2(x)dx = \pi \qquad \mbox{and}\qquad \sqrt{4}= 2. \stopformula \stoptext %%% end bug-xits-sqrt.tex
