Hi Khaled, Hi Hans,
Thank you so much to bith of you and all other people involved in the project
for giving us so rapidly the ability to use stix, and xits, fonts.
I tried for a week or so both stix and xits fonts on many of the documents I
have in ConTeXt. I can say that as far as simple text is concerned everything
works like a charm. However, regarding stix and xits there are some issues with
math mode:
• With stix fonts, the integral sign doesn't scale up correctly, and the
placement and maybe the sizes of the indices and derivative signs are incorrect.
• With xits fonts, the integral sign is correct but the placement of the
indices and exponents are not always correct (see the example below). Also for
some reasons the greek letters are not anymore italicized.
I have also a question regarding the use of calligraphic script style, like the
font rsfs, which are contained in xits and stix: how can one use them?
With my best regards: OK

Let $\alpha \in {\Bbb R}$. Then $z:={\rm e}^{{\rm i}\alpha} \in {\Bbb C}$ and
$|z|=1$. Let ${\ss\bf H}$ be a Hilbert space. In the case where ${\ss\bf H} =
H^1_{0}(\Omega)$, the classical Sobolev space on a smooth bounded domain
$\Omega \subset {\Bbb R}^n$, we have the Poincaré inequality stating that
\startformula
\lambda_{1}\int_{\Omega}u(x)^2dx =: \lambda_{1}\| u\|^2 \leq \| \nabla u \|^2
:= \int_{\Omega}|\nabla u(x)|^2dx.
\stopformula
In particular if $n=1$ and $\Omega = (0,1)$
\startformula
\pi^2\int_{0}^{1} u(x)^2dx \leq \int_{0}^1u'(x)^2dx. \qquad
\zeta(2)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty {1\over n^2 } ={\pi^2\over 6}
\stopformula
On the other hand $\int_{1}^{2} xdx=3/2$, while $\zeta(4)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty
n^{-4} = \pi^4/ 90$.
A function $f$ is said to have a derivative at $x_{0}\in {\Bbb R}$, if the
limite
\startformula
\lim_{h \to 0}{f(x_{0}+h) - f(x_{0})\over h}
\stopformula
exists. In this case the above limit is denoted $f'(x_{0})$. One can easily see
that $(uf)'=u'f+uf'$ (and not $u'f'$\dots).
\startformula
\Delta u := \sum_{j=1}^n {\partial^2 u\over \partial x_{j}^2 } = \sum_{j=1}^n
\partial_{jj}u.

This is a sample of maths with Latin Modern:

This is a sample of Xits fonts\dots{} Version 1.002. Note that the integral
sign and the numbers 1 and 2 are not correctly placed in $\int_{1}^2$, and
$\Omega$ in $\int_{\Omega}$ is a little bit far from the integral sign $\int$.
Also the derivative sign in $f'$ is slightly misplaced (actually too high), but
this may be accepted as it is.
