Dear all, I recently switched to mkiv and experienced some problems with descriptions when set with alternative=hanging. The horizontal space between the description title and the rest of the text varies a lot and looks ugly. When the same code is compiled with mkii, this space is almost constant (replace alternative=hanging by location=hanging in mkii). Thanks Cedric ---- \definedescription[desc][ align=hyphenated,alternative=hanging, width=fit,margin=standard] \starttext \startdesc{Abcdefgh} \input knuth \stopdesc \startdesc{Abcdefghij} \input knuth \stopdesc \startdesc{Abcdefghijklmn} \input knuth \stopdesc \stoptext
