Dear List

In the MWE below, the kerning feature works OK for ebgaramonditalic but not for ebgaramondregular. How do I fix it?

I'm using ConTeXt version: 2023.08.27 13:48

\startluacode fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature { name = "kernit", type = "kern", nocheck = true, data = { [0x27E8] = { ["f"] = 300, ["fi"] = 300, ["fl"] = 300 } } } \stopluacode

you need to know the code points and eb garamond is not so predictable (welcome to fonts ...) \startluacode fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature { name = "kernit", type = "kern", nocheck = true, data = { [0x27E8] = { ["f"] = 300, ["f_l"] = 300, ["f_i"] = 300, [0xFB01] = 300, [0xFB02] = 300, } } } \stopluacode

\definefontfeature[kernit][mode=node,kernit=yes]

\starttext \definedfont[name:ebgaramondregular*default,kernit]

⟨f ile

⟨f lame

⟨file

⟨flame

\definedfont[name:ebgaramonditalic*default,kernit]

⟨f ile

⟨f lame

⟨file

⟨flame

\stoptext but easier is this (an old mechanism, maybe time for an upgrade with merged vectors)

\definecharacterspacing [myspacing] \setupcharacterspacing [myspacing] ["27E8] [right=0.25,alternative=1] \setupcharacterspacing [myspacing] ["27E9] [left=0.25,alternative=1] and then \setcharacterspacing[myspacing] Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
