Kerning messed up for Minion Pro in ConTeXt 2010.06.09
Hi all, it looks like the kerning has gone weird for Minion Pro in the latest ConTeXt (this is the only font I could find with the problem, all others looked fine). I've attached a PDF to show the effect. -- Michael Murphy

Just a blind guess. Some Adobe fonts use "kerning groups" (a set of characters with equal kerning on left/right), while most fonts, in particular all the Polish fonts/LM use just "normal kerning" (kerning defined for each pair of characters). I suspect that only kerning of "group of characters" might be broken. Mojca

how exactly should the test code look like? to reproduce it one needs the adobe fonts. Here are links to my testing of the adobe opticals: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2082519/Typescript_Test.pdf http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2082519/Typescript_Test.log Probably this does not help much but shows that the problem is not only with minion pro. best regards Bernhard

i reverted a change and not works ok, the problem is that we have to use a depricated (bit unreliable) lua function and i'd changes the code; however this is also unreliable ... a future version of luatex will circumvent this 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
