Several years ago Hans cooked up a fix using \CapStretch that allowed me to stretch words. That early version of \stretchedbox appeared in later ConTeXt versions as \StretchedBox as described in strc-sec.mkii and strc-ren.mkiv. This feature worked in the ConTeXt version dated 2011.07.26, but does not work in my current ConTeXt version dated 2011.09.10. I have attached an example file that works with mkii and with earlier mkiv versions, but not with the current mkiv. I am curious to know what has changed to break this functionality. Initially, I thought it had to do with \setuphead's definition of 'deeptextcommand', but since there are no difference in the files strc-sec-mkii and strc-ren.mkiv between these two releases, the reason must lie elsewhere. If anyone can explain what has changed, an more importantly how to reinstate it, I would be most grateful. With kind regards, Michael Guravage

Use \kerncharacters etc. instead of \stretchednormalcase. Wolfgang
