Hi ho, I just noticed that Heros CN is missing in type-otf.mkiv. Would you add it please? The fonts are in the minimal distribution. Using it, I find it unnecessary tight - how can I space it a bit? (using MkIV) I found \stretchednormalcase, but I'd like to enable it per-font. Greetlings, Hraban

This is currently not possible but you can try this: \definecharacterkerning[extraspace][factor=.05] \setcharacterkerning[extraspace] \starttext ... \stoptext Wolfgang

Thank you, that's good enough for me. Greetlings, Hraban

Hi Wolfgang, Hraban, Just testing the feature suggested by Wolfgang, I ran into a « fatal error » on one test file, which I could nail down to this minimal example: \definecharacterkerning[extraspace][factor=.05] \setcharacterkerning[extraspace] \starttext affine, fil, affligeant % <-- afflig in this word causes problem \stoptext Somehow mkiv doesn't like the word «affligeant »… which, by the way, means distressing :-) Best regards: OK On 23 juin 2010, at 16:57, Wolfgang Schuster wrote:

Is it the the word affligeant or just the ffl ligature which causes the error message (can't check it at the moment) but extrakerning is just a workaround in this case and problems are likely to be expected. Wolfgang

the combination affli creates the fatal error, while ffli does not.

Don't worry, I wanted just to report a problem I observed: I don't think I am going to use this fancy feature very soon. Best regards: OK

if you use character kerning, you should disable liga Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

I got rid of the error at the cost of leaking glyph nodes. The ffl is somewhat special as it is actually chained into two ligatures: f f l -> ff l -> ffl Keep in mind that characterkerning is normally not something that you will apply to a whole document (make it quite large too) and I have no clue about side effects.
