Dear List, I am looking for a ConTeXt way to create a thicker \cdot (but not as thick as \bullet). Minimal non-example \starttext \startformula a \cdot[1mm] b \stopformula \stoptext does not accomplish anything useful…. Thanks - Matthias

It looks like Metapost is a good way of doing this. If anybody knows a better way, please let me know. \def\fatdot{\startMPcode h := \strutheight-\strutdepth; k:=h/2; pickup pencircle scaled k; setbounds currentpicture to boundingbox unitsquare xyscaled (2*h, h); drawdot (h, h/2); \stopMPcode} \starttext \startformula a \cdot b \fatdot c \bullet d \stopformula \stoptext

Not “better,” but maybe simpler: you can just scale the cdot; if you want to be fancy, you can make a macro and center it vertically, but the basic process would be: \starttext \getglyph{file:xits-math.otf}{\char"00B7} \space \getscaledglyph{1.2}{file:xits-math.otf}{\char"00B7} \space \getscaledglyph{1.6}{file:xits-math.otf}{\char"00B7} \space \getscaledglyph{2}{file:xits-math.otf}{\char"00B7} \stoptext So knock yourself out...
