Remove spaces from string

Remove spaces from string

[Wolfgang Schuster]

Hi,

I'm looking for nice and short ways to remove spaces from strings
with font names. I found the \unspacestring command in the core to
do what I want but prefer a alternative solution or a few tips for
the following code.

\starttext

\bgroup

\catcode`\ =9

\definedfont[name:TeX Gyre Pagella Regular]text

\egroup

\stoptext

Wolfgang

Just enter TeXGyrePagellaRegular as mkiv will ignore spaces anyway

I can make a note for other users to write the font name without spaces
but I don't know where you mean MkIV will ignore spaces, this definitely
not the case when I ask for a font.

\starttext
\definedfont[name:TeX Gyre Pagella Regular]text
\stoptext

In this example I get 'TeX Gyre Termes Regular' in the output and
to prevent this I remove all spaces from the input (the given font  
name).
