punctuation vs font switch

punctuation vs font switch

[Andreas Mang]

Dear all,

at the risk of being met with an incredulous shake of the head: I am using xits as math font and pagella as main font (for several reasons). Obviously, the  punctuation (in particular "comma") does not match. Is there an easy and quick global fix!?

Your help is very much appreciated.

Cheers,
Andreas 

% minimal example
\starttypescript [myface]
\definetypeface [\typescriptone] [rm] [serif] [pagella]  [default]
\definetypeface [\typescriptone] [ss] [sans]  [helvetica] [default]
\definetypeface [\typescriptone] [tt] [mono]  [modern]   [default]
\definetypeface [\typescriptone] [mm] [math]  [xits]     [default]
\stoptypescript
\setupbodyfont[myface,11pt]

\starttext

$1{,}2$ 1,2 % difference

$1\text{,}2$ % not so nice work around and problematic since the font size does not change (superscript, subscript,...)

\stoptext
% stop minimal example

P.S. Clearly, this does not matter for formulas but its different for inline (in text) math expressions.

(Untested), but I thought that \text should change the size of the text 
font in superscripts and subscripts, otherwise it is a bug in the 
implementation (wrt amsmath implementation)

This is something I'd be interested in as well, but for a different 
reason. I like to use Pagella + Euler for math, but there are some symbols 
missing in Euler (in particular, black board bold 
(https://github.com/khaledhosny/euler-otf/issues/2), but other symbols as 
well). As an emergency measure, it will be useful to pick these symbols 
from a fallback font). So, an interface for something like this will be 
useful (I believe that simplefonts does something similar for Asian 
languages, but I am not sure if it can handle math fonts as well).
