Problem with setupcharacterspacing and comma
Hello all, Playing with define/setup/set characterspacing, I have come across some odd, perhaps buggy, behavior. This applies to both MkIV 2020.11.19 11:23 and LMTX 2020.11.19 11:28. The problem is that character spacing is not effected for the left side of the comma character. It is handled as expected for other characters that I have tested, but I have not performed extensive tests. Example code: \definecharacterspacing[Test] \setupcharacterspacing [Test] ["002C] [left =.25,right=1,alternative=1] % , \setupcharacterspacing [Test] ["0065] [left=0.5,right=1,alternative=1] % e \setupcharacterspacing [Test] ["003B] [left=0.5,right=1,alternative=1] % e \startTEXpage[offset=1em] abc; def, g \setcharacterspacing[Test]abc; def, g \stopTEXpage Output: -- Rik

\setcharacterspacing[Test]abc; def, g \stopTEXpage remove the space between "left" and "="

I should have know better than to copy as I did from the source code without analyzing it sufficiently! In typo-spa.mkiv I found: \setupcharacterspacing [frenchpunctuation] ["003A] [\c!left =.25,\c!alternative=1] % : ... I see (now) that the space disappears when the \c!left macro is processed. Mea culpa. I owe you a beer. -- Rik
