With MkII or plain TeX, they are the same height (at the higher position obtained by using the \mathstrut in MkIV). My eye tells me that the higher position looks more right. Do others agree? Or, if it's a matter of taste, is the difference configurable so that one can get the MkII behavior even without the \mathstrut? -- -Sanjoy ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
