I adapted the code a bit (next beta) - a threshold is a pct of the font size (was designsize) - i now default to 5pct which is .5 pt for a 10 pt font - i also limit to max 10 pct and issue a warnign when > 5pct - lucida might come out better with values < 5 I'm still considering to default to just .5pt but that is something I need to discuss with Wolfgang. Also a matter of testing. These thresholds also relate to the size of the pdf file (small values means larger files). Now, another thing to keep in mind is that each expansion change (in one line there can be different expansion factors used) also triggeres a resync.

Hi, attached is the result of running latest lmtx on \definefontfeature[default][default][protrusion=quality,expansion=quality] \setupalign[hz] \setupbodyfont[lucidaot] \starttext Gauss öppnade med denna studie ett helt nytt fält inom matematiken, det som handlar om \emph{elliptiska funktioner} och \emph{modulära former}. \stoptext What happens with the space between the characters in "studie", that becomes "s tudie"? The spacing between some other characters are also off (ma tematiken), but not as much as in studie. /Mikael
