Re: [NTG-context] vertical bar spacing in Antykwa-Poltawskiego

23 Jul 2013

      Wolfgang, Hans—many thanks to you both!

Part of the problem was that i was using \| instead of \textbar. I now have:

\setupbodyfont[antykwa-poltawskiego]

\def\test
  {\ifnum\lastnodetype=\gluenodecode
\|
   \else
     \textbar
   \fi}

\setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation]

\starttext
left\test middle \test right

\stoptext

which looks good on the page—\quad\textbar\quad puts too much space around
the bar.

Again, thanks!

Alan

In the Greek text, there is a vertical bar (to mark the end of a
column). The custom is to set the spacing about the bar so that
(a) when the bar is inside a word, the bar appears as a normal character
(b) when the bar is between words, the bar has an emspace on either side.
\setupbodyfont[antykwa-**poltawskiego]
\def\test

The problem is that Antykwa-Poltawskiego defines the vertical bar with
...
spaces on either side.
Do you have a example for this?
Is there a way to adjust this so that the vertical bar appears as it
...
should in Greek text—and to do this without clobbering the French
punctuation or getting weird effects when the bar is at the end of a line?
For instance, is there a way to combine rules for character spacing so that
the second overrules the first only when they are in conflict?
Make a example for the problem with french.
Wolfgang
