Hi!

Assuming you are using context lmtx, does section 2.7 in
https://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/mathincontext-screen.pdf
help you?

Unless I am missing something, the first method proposed in the section ‘Subscript and superscript’ (https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Mathematics/Mathematical_glyphs#Subscript_and_superscript) to align sub- and superscripts does not seem to align them with ConTeXt 2025.04.01. The following example:

This seems a bit of a hack, though (and not the easiest to type with most keyboards), and the results are not perfect (the space between the a and c looks a bit too wide to me; although that is probably subjective, and can be resolved by manually adding \kern s).
