seems the same date as

http://www.ctan.org/get/fonts/Asana-Math/Asana-Math.otf

+

This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.41.0-2009061016

I reported this to Taco so we'll see what he says...

Using the predefined

[mm] [math] [palatino]

You can test these formulas in px-math:

\starttext
\startformula
Y=AK^{\alpha{}}L^{1-\alpha{}} \eqno(1)
\stopformula

\startformula
y-l=a+\alpha(k-l) \eqno(2)
\stopformula

\startformula
a = (y-l) - \alpha{} (k-l) \eqno(3)
\stopformula

\startformula
A = (3-7)-(0.3) (5-3) = 3.4
\stopformula

\alpha{}
\stoptext
