Too much space in fractions

Too much space in fractions

[Mikael P. Sundqvist]

Dear list,

With

\starttext
$a/b$ and $1/2$
\stoptext

I get too much space between a and /, and betwen / and b (and between
1 and /, and between / and 2). This was not so in earlier versions of
ConTeXt (not sure when it first appeared). Is there some option I
should change or is it a bug?

Best regards, Mikael

PS I attach the output I get, together with the similar LaTeX output
(which looks like I (as a mathematician) am used to)

It seems that the space after the integral sign is also too big. A
small example that shows both these problems:
\starttext
$a/b$ and $1/2$. See also
\startformula
\int f(x)\, dx.
\stopformula
\stoptext

Best regards, Mikael
