Hello, What Unicode character can replace "\,"? "NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE" is too small: \starttext \|\,\| \type{\,}\par \| \| THIN SPACE (U+2009) (why smaller than \type{\,}?)\par \| \| NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE (U+202F) (why almost nothing?)\par \|\| nothing\par \|~\| \type{~}\par \| \| NO-BREAK SPACE (U+00A0) (seems ok to me) \stoptext TIA for any hints! -- Peter

No, there is a line break:
\starttext \hsize1pt bla\sixperemspace bla \stoptext
well, it's a space and therefore a valid breakpoint (i.e. it's not \sixperemnonbreakspace) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

So the answer is "no, there is no unicode equivalent for \," ? What about NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE ? About 1 or 2 years ago, it was the same width as \, but now it's much smaller. Is the actual version the correct one?

all those lovely incompatible names ... anyhow, so you want em/8 instead of space/8 ..

It would be nice. But probably, you had a reason to change it to space/8, didn't you?
Not really ... some time ago the code dealing with those spaces was adapted to deal with tagging and at that point some decisions were made (after all, these things were not available in mkii so untill code gets cleaned up and stabelizes antything can happen).

No problem. I can continue using "\,", the source looks just a bit uglier... ;) -- Peter
