Hi,
is italic correction still supported with MkIV because in the following example the second sentence has the same length as the first.

\starttext \setbox\scratchbox\hbox{A short sentence with a {\it italic} word.} \the\wd\scratchbox\ : \box\scratchbox\par \setbox\scratchbox\hbox{A short sentence with a {\it italic\/} word.} \the\wd\scratchbox\ : \box\scratchbox \stoptext
yes and no: yes: the code is there no : it has not been adapted to the font cleanup So, first fix this in font-ext.lua: local descriptions = tfmdata.descriptions for unicode, d in next, tfmdata.characters do local d = descriptions[unicode] Then enable the feature: \starttext \definefontfeature[one][default] \definefontfeature[two][default][itlc=yes] \definefont[testa][SerifItalic*one] \definefont[testb][SerifItalic*two] \setbox\scratchbox\hbox{A short sentence with a {\testa italic} word.} \the\wd\scratchbox\ : \box\scratchbox\par \setbox\scratchbox\hbox{A short sentence with a {\testa italic\/} word.} \the\wd\scratchbox\ : \box\scratchbox \setbox\scratchbox\hbox{A short sentence with a {\testb italic} word.} \the\wd\scratchbox\ : \box\scratchbox\par \setbox\scratchbox\hbox{A short sentence with a {\testb italic\/} word.} \the\wd\scratchbox\ : \box\scratchbox \stoptext ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
