Same holds for \Omega. Actually, there is something wrong with the
fonts; CMR fonts don't seem to be used. Here is an example:

See caption for figures 4, 5, 6 etc. These should have a \Omega
wherever there's a blank. Also move to the last page, the font
rendering for math is far from OK. I am, in general, unhappy with the
fonts: http://www.ee.iitm.ac.in/~ee03b091/ee03b091.pdf

A similar document made with the old ConTeXt is:
http://www.ee.iitm.ac.in/~ee03b091/ee03b091_nice.pdf
The fonts render very well in Acrobat as well as have all
symbols. This is what I was mentioning.

Well, this is the switch to lmodern in all the fonts. Your
(ee03b091_nice.pdf) document has these fonts:
QGWSVP+CMR10                         Type 1C      yes yes no      10  0
GLMABO+CMCSC10                       Type 1C      yes yes no       8  0
KOSSLE+CMBX10                        Type 1C      yes yes no      12  0
TBOINI+CMR7                          Type 1C      yes yes no      29  0

KRZXUD+CMTT10                        Type 1C      yes yes no      65  0

while the new one ships:
KOSSLE+LMRoman10-Bold                Type 1C      yes yes no      13  0
KHXVKD+LMRoman10-Regular             Type 1C      yes yes no      11  0
GLMABO+LMRoman10-CapsRegular         Type 1C      yes yes no       9  0
XJFWIW+CMR10                         Type 1C      yes yes no      25  0
VUKLKL+LMMathSymbols10-Italic        Type 1C      yes yes no      23  0
OPSIHW+LMMathItalic10-Italic         Type 1C      yes yes no      21  0
TBOINI+CMR7                          Type 1C      yes yes no      33  0
IGJFUT+LMMathItalic5-Italic          Type 1C      yes yes no      31  0
LLFODD+LMMathSymbols7-Italic         Type 1C      yes yes no      29  0
SZFXRB+LMMathItalic7-Italic          Type 1C      yes yes no      27  0
DZLVPI+LMTypewriter8-Regular         Type 1C      yes yes no      62  0

Complain to ConTeXt about this switch, or ask them to support the cmr
fonts. This is probaly the only way to go.

So, what is the suggestion?
