Re: [NTG-context] weird word breaking in Win64

Dear list,

the following sample breaks some words not right in Win64 (I cannot reproduce it in Linux):

\enabledirectives[fonts.injections.method=advance] \setuppapersize[A6] \definefontfamily[mainface][rm] [TeX Gyre Pagella] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext \input zapf \stoptext
