Hi everybody, how does one adjust the tracking of a font? The command \definecharacterkerning does almost what I need. However, it breaks the ligatures. \definecharacterkerning [track] [factor=.01] \starttext \showboxes \switchtobodyfont [72pt] final suffocating flange % all ligatures lost \setcharacterkerning [track] final suffocating flange \stoptext Marco

sure, because as soon as one starts adding extra space between characters ligatures make no sense any longer 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

It depends on the amount of space. If the added space is small it might not justify breaking the ligatures. If it exceeds some threshold, then I totally agree with you. Marco
