Hello,

I have some serious issues with kerning in MKIV, so I'll probably have to end up with MKII after all. I wonder what is going on in the following example where framed completely distorts the kerning.

\setuppagenumbering [location=] \definepapersize [poster] [width=36cm,height=55cm]

\starttext

\setupbackgrounds[page][background=paper]

\definelayer[paper] [width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]

\startbuffer[title] \definedfont[Bold at 38pt] Kerning Screw Up \stopbuffer

\setlayerframed[paper] [preset=lefttop,hoffset=.05\paperwidth,voffset=1cm] [width=0.9\paperwidth,align=middle,offset=4mm] {\getbuffer[title]}

\definedfont[Bold at 38pt] No Kerning Screw Up \stoptext

When you change the font inside, the par happens after a group and as a consequence the spacing is the one outside the framed. So, in case you want to set a font (normally only needed with a larger one) this way: \starttext \setupbackgrounds[page][background=paper] \definelayer[paper] [width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight] \definefont[MyFont][Bold*default at 38pt] \startbuffer[title] Kerning Screw Up \stopbuffer \setlayerframed[paper] [preset=lefttop,hoffset=.05\paperwidth,voffset=1cm] [width=0.9\paperwidth,align=middle,foregroundstyle=\MyFont,strut=no] {\getbuffer[title]} \definedfont[Bold*default at 38pt] No Kerning Screw Up \stoptext Also, if you omit *default your inter character kerning will not show up either.
