Hi, these line can modify the space between words: \installtolerancemethod {horizontal} {MySpace} {\spaceskip2.75pt plus1.60pt minus1.10pt\relax} \setupalign[line,block]\setfalse\raggedonelinerstate% kein hz=expansion mehr? \setuptolerance[MySpace] But how can I adjust in general the horizontal distance between glyphs (I don't mean \kern, I am looking for a general setup)?
