I suppose that Luigi is already testing things, and will report on it in 
detail, but here's a quick and dirty check on what's in there:

\starttypescript [math] [stix] [name]
     \definefontsynonym[MathRoman][file:stixgeneral.otf] [features=math]
\stoptypescript

\starttypescript [serif] [stix] [name] % why 'italic' infull and 'bol' 
without 'd'?
     \definefontsynonym[Serif]          [file:stixgeneral.otf] 
[features=default]
     \definefontsynonym[SerifBold]      [file:stixgeneralbol.otf] 
[features=defaulth]
     \definefontsynonym[SerifItalic]    [file:stixgeneralitalic.otf] 
[features=default]
     \definefontsynonym[SerifBoldItalic][file:stixgeneralbolita.otf] 
[features=default]
\stoptypescript

\starttypescript[stix]
     \definetypeface [stix] [rm] [serif] [stix] [default]
     \definetypeface [stix] [mm] [math]  [stix] [default]
\stoptypescript

\usetypescript[stix]
\setupbodyfont[stix]

\usemodule[fnt-25]

\startbuffer[mathtest]
     \begingroup\mm\mr\showmathfontcharacters\endgroup
\stopbuffer

Well, sort of as expected ... no opentype math font at all ... I wonder 
what took 'm so long ... okay, luatex/mkiv could be wrong and is no 
reference and could well be unable to handle an opentype math font but 
the only reference to math in the font is to the copyright holders, i.e. 
no math table, so i wonder what programs like msword can do with it.

Okay, I could make a virtual font but gimme a reason. So, it looks like 
Khaled has to do his magic and make a proper 'derived work' unless we 
want to wait till 1.1 which will show up end 2010.

The good news is that there are lots of glyphs.  Kerns indeed but only a 
liga feature (interesting with a NLD variant).

  Impressive reaction time from all of you...

  And what about Khaled's promise? He vowed to release an OpenType
version of the STIX fonts with MATH table within one week of their
official release ;-)

He's probably still deciding on either or not to agree to the license as 
one needs to confirm explicitly -)

Which reminds me that i need to add typescripts for the xits fonts,

depends on your needs, the current otf version is probably usable for 
primary school math (no large operators and so in the core font)

Oh, so it's primarily a font aimed for mathematical equations and suchlike?

Or the Guinness Book of Records with the biggest repertoire of math 
symbols (althoug cambria probably has more) .

\starttext
\showfont[file:stixgeneral.otf][all]
\stoptext

(which reminds me ... the fonts probably also lack the smaller desing 
sizes)

is this valid usage of \def?

[Rogutės Sparnuotos]

Hello,

Could someone please confirm that it is ok to use \def like this:

  \def\ru{\switchtobodyfont[cyr]\language[ru]}
  \starttext
  \item {\ru Эйхенбаум, Борис. {\it Теория «формального метода»}.} 
        Some other text in the main language.
  \stoptext

This is MkII with XeTeX, cyr is defined as

  \definetypeface[cyr][rm][Xserif][CMU Serif]
  \definetypeface[cyr][ss][Xsans][CMU Sans Serif]
  \definetypeface[cyr][tt][Xmono][CMU Typewriter Text]

because 'Latin Modern' lacks cyrillic glyphs and 'Computer Modern Unicode'
lacks some Lithuanian glyphs (and looks slightly different).

In MkIV you can set falback fonts for cyrillic etc.
