Dear All,
according to http://texdoc.net/texmf-dist/doc/latex/microtype/microtype.pdf pdfTeX offers fine tuning of: (1) Character protrusion (2) Font expansion (3) Tracking (4) Additional kerning (5) Interword spacing
AFAIK ConTeXt covers 1+2+(3?). In recent discussion Hans mentioned experimental 'space kerning'. Is it anything related to above features (4)? Are there any plans to cover the rest?
1 - protrusion is supported 2 - expansion is supported both with variants and granularity 3 - i have no clue what tracking is 4 - neither what additional kerning is (unless you mean (usually ugly) extra inter character kerning, which is supported) 5 - it being a rather core tex feature, normal interword spacing is supported the mentioned space kerning refers to kerning between characters and spaces defined in the font itself Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
