Hi Luigi,
I am lacking still
* a working input (*.tex) file %% test.tex \usemodule[simplefonts][size=25pt] \definefontfeature[latins][default][script=latn] \setmainfont[FreeSerif] \starttext \showfontkerns dadedidodufafefifofufrflftlalelilolutatetitotu\par \addfs{latins} dadedidodufafefifofufrflftlalelilolutatetitotu\par \stoptext
* the command line to build it with ConTeXt
$> context test.tex
There are already two ConTeXt installations on different machines here. The most recent is 2012.05.30 MKIV, on Ubuntu. Are you saying I have to install the latest version of ConTeXt to see the effects being discussed?
Quick how-to $>## install latest minimals under /opt/luatex/standalone-new $>## and run the test $>mkdir -p /opt/luatex/standalone-new $>cd /opt/luatex/standalone-new $>wget http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/first-setup.sh $>bash /first-setup.sh --modules=simplefonts $>## wait a little $>cd tex $>source setuptex $>## ok we shoudl have context mkiv now $>context --version $>cd texmf-project $>mkdir fonts && cd fonts $>wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/freefont/freefont-src-20120503.zip $>unzip freefont-src-20120503.zip $>cd freefont-20120503 $>mv *.ttf ../ $>cd .. $>mtxrun --script font --reload $>## let's see if they are installed $>mtxrun --script fonts --list --all|grep free $>cd .. $>## put the test.tex here $>context test.tex
I see vertical lines in your attached PDF... is this a new complaint?
vertical bars are the result of \showkerns
I thought the problem was that sometimes kerning isn't activated. could be.
