Dear fellow conspirators,
Is there a saner way to define the following accent using ConTeXt's framework:
\def\SHIFT#1{\dimen0=.00#1ex \multiply\dimen0 by\fontdimen1\font
\kern-.0156\dimen0} % compensate for slant/italic in lower accents
\def\h#1{{\oalign{\relax#1\crcr\hidewidth\SHIFT{34}%
\vbox to.2ex{\hbox{\char'25}\vss}\hidewidth}}}
\def\~#1{{\struttedbox{\accent"7E #1}}}
In my own work, the tilda is used over (upper and lower case) `h', `t', and
`i', and the lower crescent is only used under (upper and lower case) `h'. lmr
does not have the latter case and I still have a couple of issues with lmr so
I'd like to maintain control over a few accents for now.
Best

less encoding dependent:
\unexpanded\def\~{\struttedbox{\texttilde#1}}
