Add \definefontfeature[default][default][itlc=yes] before \setupbodyfont. Thanks but allthough this has an effect on the default modern, it does not made a difference for lucidaot. Is the TUG delivered lucidaot deficient with respect to the italic correction? It is hard to believe! I have two examples added, both modern and lucidaot to show the (tiny) difference.

I looked it up in the sources and found it in typo-itc.mkiv.

From there I deduced when should have something akin to: \definefontfeature[default][default][itlc=yes,notextitalics=yes] what are notextitalics? \setupitaliccorrection[global] (and other values) Quite involved for a font layman, like me.

Hans van der Meer Example was % italic correction \setuppapersize[A6][A6] \definefontfeature[default][default][itlc=yes,notextitalics=yes] \setupitaliccorrection[global] \setupbodyfont[modern,24pt] % or with lucidaot \starttext {\it n}:{\it n}\crlf {\it n\/}:{\it n}\crlf \stoptext On 21 jul. 2012, at 14:55, Wolfgang Schuster wrote:

I cannot see the italic correction. Neither in the default not, nor in lucidaot.

An explicit \/ (plain TeX material!) makes no difference. Addition of \setupitaliccorrection[always] also did not make a difference.

What am I doing wrong?

Add \definefontfeature[default][default][itlc=yes] before \setupbodyfont.

Thanks, I see the difference appearing in lucidaot with your example. A pity italic correction isn't available for the n (and some others, I fear). It makes {\it n}x{\it n} for n multiplied by n harder in the text, as I find $n\times n$ within running text to alien looking. That makes {\it n}\,x{\it n} perhaps the best solution.

I goes there is no correction for the “n” but try this example with/without the “itlc” feature and you can see a difference. \setuppapersize[A6][A6] \definefontfeature[default][default][itlc=yes] \setupbodyfont[lucidaot] \starttext fl f\/l {\it fl f\/l} \stoptext Wolfgang ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nlmailto:ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
