Hi, In macrotype (a latex package which uses pdftex extension), I can use tracking when I want to assign a small caps font. How can I do that in ConTeXt? Thanks. Yue Wang

He means the letterspacing feature from pdfTeX. Wolfgang

Wolfgang is right. And are there such higher level macros in ConTeXt?
In MkII it is integrated in the font handling mechanism like protrusion and hz. To stretch words or short sentences the \stretched command could be used. In MkIV you can use \setcharacterkerning, you can use it like the \lsseries command. Wolfgang

And how do you do this with your two above features. \starttext Thus, I came to the conclusion that the designer of a new system must not only be the implementer and first large||scale user; the designer should also write the first user manual. \setcharacterkerning[extrakerning] Thus, I came to the conclusion that the designer of a new system must not only be the implementer and first large||scale user; the designer should also write the first user manual. \stoptext Wolfgang

Hi,
I told this in my other mail.
You said that I can use something like \stretched{LETTER}. How can I automatically adjust the spacing? (like add 0.25em space between each characters).

Yes, I test the document with "knuth" Yue Wang

The correct command \strechednormalcase, not \stretched. You can set the kerning between chars with \stretchedspaceamount and the space between words with \stretchedspacefactor. \def\stretchedspacefactor{4} % default value \def\stretchedspaceamount{.25em} % default value \starttext This is a normal kerned sentence. \stretchednormalcase{This is a special kerned sentence.} \stoptext Wolfgang

Another solution for pdfTeX is to use \knbccode and \knaccode. \starttext \input knuth \pdfappendkern=1 \knbccode\font`a=125 \knaccode\font`a=125 \knbccode\font`b=125 \knaccode\font`b=125 \knbccode\font`c=125 \knaccode\font`c=125 \knbccode\font`d=125 \knaccode\font`d=125 \knbccode\font`e=125 \knaccode\font`e=125 \knbccode\font`f=125 \knaccode\font`f=125 \knbccode\font`g=125 \knaccode\font`g=125 \knbccode\font`h=125 \knaccode\font`h=125 \knbccode\font`i=125 \knaccode\font`i=125 \knbccode\font`j=125 \knaccode\font`j=125 \knbccode\font`k=125 \knaccode\font`k=125 \knbccode\font`l=125 \knaccode\font`l=125 \knbccode\font`m=125 \knaccode\font`m=125 \knbccode\font`n=125 \knaccode\font`n=125 \knbccode\font`o=125 \knaccode\font`o=125 \knbccode\font`p=125 \knaccode\font`p=125 \knbccode\font`q=125 \knaccode\font`q=125 \knbccode\font`r=125 \knaccode\font`r=125 \knbccode\font`s=125 \knaccode\font`s=125 \knbccode\font`t=125 \knaccode\font`t=125 \knbccode\font`u=125 \knaccode\font`u=125 \knbccode\font`v=125 \knaccode\font`v=125 \knbccode\font`w=125 \knaccode\font`w=125 \knbccode\font`x=125 \knaccode\font`x=125 \knbccode\font`y=125 \knaccode\font`y=125 \knbccode\font`z=125 \knaccode\font`z=125 \input knuth \stoptext Wolfgang

\pdfappendkern=1

A shorter version is:
\dostepwiserecurse{65}{122}{1} {\knbccode\font#1=125 \knaccode\font#1=125 }
Works, Thanks a lot for this! Yue Wang
