Dear All,
I've finished a rough comparision of various engines for their typographical quality: http://drifted.in/publishing/
From my point of view the ConTeXt is the best offering in this field to date, so congratulation!
If you find something inappropriate or misleading in my text, please comment or let me know.
If my ConTeXt examples could be written more efficiently, I am open to fix it.
Font expansion only, applied to a limited character subset Is that true? It is applied to any character that you want, of course given that you associate expansion factors, but that happens for quite some characters in context. Concerning homogenization, context has support for dynamically aplying feature (alternates) to improve the look and feel but of course not many fonts have multiple variants for glyphs grouped in stylistic alternates so this mechanism is hardly used (only for some arabic).
