Microtype & ConTeXt question
http://mail.rna.nl/~gerben/microtype.tiff contains an image of a margin of a piece of text I just have typeset with ConTeXt. I was wondering about two things: 1. How does one set up the use of margi kerning in ConTeXt given that my ConTeXt (without me having selected it myself) uses Latin Modern? I have tried adding \usetypescript [serif,sans,mono] [hanging] [thanh] to my environment file. 2. If you look at the image (link above) you see that there is no margin kerning there. Also I was wondering if margin kerning would make not only the . protrude but also the slanted f protrude negatively. G

I only know a little bit about microtype (hanging/handling) in ConTeXt. This is the code that I start from: \usetypescript[serif] [hanging] [normal] %see type-exa \usetypescript[postscript][texnansi] \setupalign [hanging] \setupbodyfont[postscript] \setuplayout[width=5in] \showframe \starttext \input tufte \it\input tufte \stoptext (The reason why it's easier to do an example with Times rather than Latin Modern is because the handling handler needs to insert the hanging code, which is a little bit more involved with the pre-loaded, default font.)
Also I was wondering if margin kerning would make not only the . protrude but also the slanted f protrude negatively.
I'm not sure how the italic protrusion code works, but I think it is capable of handling your 'f's in the way you want. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
