Hi all!
The \setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation] stuff I saw discussed
recently on this list does not work. Is it because I still use
MKII+Xetex? I get the usual error when there is an unknown command:
! Undefined control sequence.
l.6 \setcharacterspacing
indeed, only mkiv
Ok, thought as much. So, what do I do? Is there a way to update/adapt
the older hacks that don't work anymore? While I follow the
developments of luatex with interest, I'm not interested in switching
yet if I can help it.
\useencoding[ffr]

best not mess around with active colons in an other way since there are 
precausions takne for this kind of hackery all over context (you don't 
want to know where active colons can play havoc)
