Hi, I found a small but annoying thing about math. When I typeset in-line formula like '...a vector of $a_x$ is...', it creates too little space between 'of' and succeeding lowercase math symbol.Uppercase math symbol is treated right. I can leave it as it is, but it strange to me why TeX performs poor on that. (There too many 'of' for testing purposes). %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \starttext In MATLAB, we can create the Leslie matrix using {\tt gallery('leslie', A, B)} command, where of $A$ is a vector of $a_x$ with dimensions of $[1:X]$ and of $B$ is a vector of \mathematics{b_x} with dimensions of $[1:X-1]$. \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Best, Vyatcheslav

I cannot reproduce your problem. Take a look at this minimal example: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %% Pick one of the following for different types of bounding boxes. %\def\boxit#1{{#1}} %\def\boxit#1{\hbox{#1}} \def\boxit#1{\hbox{\strut #1}} \showmakeup \starttext The absolute value of \boxit{a} is positive.\crlf The absolute value of \boxit{\it a} is positive.\crlf The absolute value of \boxit{$a$} is positive.\crlf The absolute value of \boxit{b} is positive.\crlf The absolute value of \boxit{\it b} is positive.\crlf The absolute value of \boxit{$b$} is positive.\crlf The absolute value of \boxit{A} is positive.\crlf The absolute value of \boxit{\it A} is positive.\crlf The absolute value of \boxit{$A$} is positive.\crlf The absolute value of \boxit{B} is positive.\crlf The absolute value of \boxit{\it B} is positive.\crlf The absolute value of \boxit{$B$} is positive.\crlf \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% The distance between the 'of' and the following letter is the same for a math mode $a$ or a regular roman a. Only if we switch to italics is a little extra space added. At least for my eye the letters are evenly spaced. HTH Olaf
