Many thanks Hans: now xits fonts work as before (with ConTeXt ver:
2010.09.24 11:40 MKIV fmt: 2010.9.24).
However, for some reason it seems that the white space (or should I
say the glue?) between some operators such as \int and the following
characters is too big.

Seems like another italic correction related issue. Taco, should the
italic correction be ignored if the \int does not have scripts?

This gets sort of ridiculous, as *ignoring* the italic correction is not
good enough, it has to be explicitly substracted from the glyph width
(at least that is the case for the integrals with subscripts so I
assume that that will apply here as well). Why on earth would someone
design a font in this manner ?!

Anyway, a small test file would be helpful, as it should not be hard
to do. Can you create a tracker?

is this to be hardcoded or do we need flags for that so that we can set the method depending on the font .. implementing redicoulous specs sounds somewhat strange
