[***SPAM***] How to remove white space?
Hello, Here you see some white space at the left and the right of ".COM": \ss \framed[offset=overlay]{.COM} How can I remove this space in the right, correct, natural, smart, elegant, ConTeXtish manner? I have a workaround, but I find it a bit ugly: \starttext \ss \framed[offset=overlay]{\kern-0.07em.COM\kern-0.07em} \stoptext TIA for any hints! -- Peter

This space is part of the font. \setupbodyfont[sans] \starttext \dontleavehmode \ruledhbox{.}% \ruledhbox{C}% \ruledhbox{O}% \ruledhbox{M} \framed[offset=overlay]{.COM} \stoptext Wolfgang

Yes, that's what I've guessed too. The question was more, if there was a method to say: "Dear TeX-engine, give me please the letter `M' but without its natural kerning on the right side." I thought, that all this information was inside the font: width of the glyph, left kerning, right kerning, and so on. It seems, that I was wrong... -- Peter

That would be the side bearings which is not readily accessible (not to TeX at least). Regards, Khaled
