Thanks, Wolfgang. That is a great help: it works perfectly and saves my day. All best, Alan On Sun, Jun 2, 2013 at 10:16 AM, Wolfgang Schuster < schuster.wolfgang@gmail.com> wrote:

: Is there a global way to insert a very thin (ca 1pt) unbreakable space before a right guillemet and after a left guillemet when the main language and character spacing are English, so that “«” and “»” in my source file are processed properly?
The font that I am using puts them too close to the enclosed characters (typically, Greek). Basically, I need to borrow the French spacing for these two characters but have not been able to figure out how to do this from the ConTeXt source files.
\definecharacterspacing [alan]
\setupcharacterspacing [alan] ["00AB] [right=.1,alternative=1] \setupcharacterspacing [alan] ["00BB] [left=.1,alternative=1]
\starttext
text «text» text
\setcharacterspacing[alan]
text «text» text
\stoptext
