Hans,
would it be possible to add a embold feature (similar to the slanted font feature) that fakes the bold font with \starteffect[both]...\stopeffect and it doesn’t strecht the font?
much is possible if i can motivate myself
Good to know in order to propose new features :-).
This was already requested by Ulrike Fischer (https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2017/090094.html). hm, i don't like such crappy features but anyway it has to be done at the engine level (some efficient generic extension) ... so, if i add something like that it won't happen in the current luatex release (which is close to being frozen due to tex live) but later (e.g. the ctx meeting luatex release)
(even then it probably demands some heuristic dimension trickery when loading a font) i did some experiments and there will be something in luatex 1.08 or 1.09 (planned to be released in september) so you have to be patient
Just out of curiosity (and not related to this feature), I see that Windows and Linux binaries (both 64bit) in the Suite contain different versions (1.08 v. 1.07). Is version 1.08 to be released or only the Windows platform contains the latest stable binaries for LuaTeX? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
