Hi,

 

With beta  2021-05-19 I notice that some kerns (usually before ‘v’ letter) are no longer present, not sure if that’s intented change behaviour or not.

Following MWE reproduces the case.

 

\definefontfeature[default][default][kern=yes]

\definefontfamily[mainfont][serif][EBGaramond]

\setupbodyfont[mainfont, 12pt]

\showfontkerns

 

\language[fr]     % If commented, 2 kerns (che -0.180 v -0.120 ance), otherwise 1 kern (chev -0.120 ance)

\mainlanguage[fr] % If commented, 2 kerns, otherwise 1 kern

 

\starttext

 

chevance

 

\stoptext
