Alan, If you wand quick and dirty because you are against a hard deadline, use inline math mode and insert negative space $\!$ AFTER the x. and IMMEDIATELY BEFORE the next bit. You could also define a macro \negspace to do it as well: \def\negspace{$\!$} so that x, x. \negspace x x will yield the spacing that x, x.\ x x ought to. It's an UGLY hack, but you'd be surprised at how ugly I hacked my own thesis in LaTeX to get it converted to Word and get it in on time. The very memory is traumatic.

As Peter Münster noted: in the following test-file
\starttext x. x, x x\crlf x, x. x x\crlf x,\ x.\ x\ x\crlf x.\ x,\ x\ x\crlf X. X, X X\crlf X, X. X X\crlf X,\ X.\ X\ X\crlf X.\ X,\ X\ X \stoptext
you see 2 bugs:
- in MKIV there is no bigger space after "x." - in MKII the space after "x.\ " is a big one
The problem remains in ConTeXt ver: 2008.07.31 16:30 for MKII (which I am using). I am do not know if here have been any changes in MKIV.
Is there a fix for this in the works? I am about to publish a series of pages which will look vastly better if this is fixed.
Alan
