Thanks, that does the trick. Any reason why we cannot set these settings as module parameters anymore? 2010/8/17 Hans Hagen :

please keep the original key names (protrusion and expansion) as it's already complex enough .. nowhere we use the term microtypography and it is a rather meaningless term as there is much micro going on

Ok, that's rational. No problem, I can live without it.

to take care of the first two lines of the previous example. Or at least imply \setupalign[hanging] when setting the protrusion parameter and similarly for the expansion parameter.

in many case you don't want to use them both at the same time

Could you expand a bit more on this? My understanding was that setting protrusion=quality without \setupalign[hanging] did nothing, but of course I may be completely wrong. Thanks, Vianney

true but it also creates more font data so it uses more memory and slows down font loading 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
