Hi,
the stretch effect does not take the final width of the string into account. Is this a bug or a limitation? Example:
\starttext (\effect[stretch]{fftabc})\par %% “c” collides with “)” (\kerncharacters[.05]fftabc) %% no collision \stoptext
these are unrelated mechanisms where the first one just does some pdf magic ... no feedback to tex about widths (ok, i could write something better but never had and still don't have a reason for that kind of low level pdf based approach to be really deeply integrated) a better test is this: (\effect[stretch]{\dorecurse{50}{x}})\par %% “c” collides with “)” ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
