workaround for another too-low symbol in Pagella?
Here's another math symbol that I think is too low: the vertical bar in Palatino/Pagella. Here's an almost-minimal example. I've left in the surrounding text, to show how it's used (in probability, as P(H|E)). I think the bottom of the bar is correct, but the tip of the bar doesn't reach to the top of the H or E. \setupbodyfont[palatino] \starttext \placeformula\startformula \text{P}( H\,|\, E ) \stopformula \stoptext Again, I don't think it's a ConTeXt problem, but rather a Pagella problem. But is there a recommended ConTeXt workaround? Maybe a metafun symbol? -Sanjoy
Hi Sanjoy,
I think that this a font related problem since in Plain TeX and mkii the following
$${\rm P}(H\, | \, E)$$
gives the same result as in mkiv when using the default LM fonts, and the top (resp. the bottom) of the bar | is aligned with the top (resp. the bottom) of the parentheses, while in Palatino (Pagella) this does not seem to be the case.
Best regards: OK

Otared,
I agree (and that it's not ConTeXt's fault). Palatino ("Palladio")
works fine (using LaTeX with \usepackage{mathpazo}). Only Pagella does
not.
I will try Mikael Sundqvist's fallback trick or method ("a trick I use
twice," said Polya), borrowing from LM.
