Hi,

I am trying to typeset some strings in {\tt ...}, but they turn out to be pretty wide. So, I would like to compress those bits of text a little. Any hints on how I could do that locally, that is without adjusting the entire font.

\starttext \definecharacterkerning[tight][factor=-.5]

test {\tt \setcharacterkerning[tight]tight} test

\stoptext

(Btw, there is a narrow monospaced lm font)

I implemented it by redefining \tt: \definecharacterkerning[tight][factor=-.075] \let\oldtt=\tt \def\tt{\setcharacterkerning[tight]\oldtt} However, I find this a bit of a kludge. But opinions may differ, of course. Can this be done in a more general way? For example by setting some font feature? Hans van der Meer

no, becasue it is independent of font features (and also less efficient that using a narrow tt font) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
