The following test file ============================================================= \usetypescript[palatino][ec] \setupbodyfont[palatino,10.5pt] \setuplayout[width=4.75in] \showframe \starttext knowledge. The diverse examples help separate the tool---the general principle---from the particular applications so that you can grasp and transfer the tool to problems of particular interest to you. \stoptext ============================================================= works fine with the a recent context (2009.11.21) on top of TL 2008. But the linebreak is terrible if I use the same context on top of TL2009. I cannot find the cause.

From the logfile:

Overfull \hbox (25.72205pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 10--14 []\*palatino10.5ptmmnnrm*: knowledge. The di-verse ex-am-ples help sep-a-rate t he tool---the gen-eral principle--- \hbox(7.55998+2.96098)x343.28249, glue set - 1.0 .\hbox(0.0+0.0)x0.0 .\*palatino10.5ptmmnnrm*: k .\*palatino10.5ptmmnnrm*: n .\*palatino10.5ptmmnnrm*: o .\kern-0.2625 .etc. Below is the full log file. At first I thought the problem was in TeX Gyre versus the former Palatino, but both runs use TeX Gyre. The only other difference that I can see is the pdftex versions: TL2009: This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (TeX Live 2009) (format=cont-en 2009.11.20) 21 NOV 2009 15:18 Tl2008: This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.1415926-1.40.9 (Web2C 7.5.7) (format=cont-en 2009.6.12) 21 NOV 2009 15:16 Other than that, the runs with TL 2008 and TL 2009 produce exactly the same log file except for the overfull hbox message, and '2008' becoming '2009' in all the filenames, and write18 being enabled in one but not the other (I think with 2008). Any ideas whether this is a font problem, pdftex problem, or a context problem (probably unlikely given that both runs use the same context source files)? -Sanjoy This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (TeX Live 2009) (format=cont-en 2009.11.21) 21 NOV 2009 16:00 entering extended mode file:line:error style messages enabled. %&-line parsing enabled.
