> It is something I'd like to have but the space inserted is too big, it looks like a normal interword space. It should be 1/3 or 1/4 interword space or the width of the dot (the visible part), but definitely less than a normal space. Is it possible to redefine the inserted space width?
\definecharacterspacing [hungarian]
\setupcharacterspacing [hungarian] ["003A] [left=.1,alternative=1] % :
\setupcharacterspacing [hungarian] ["003B] [left=.1,alternative=1] % ;
\setupcharacterspacing [hungarian] ["003F] [left=.1,alternative=1] % ?
\setupcharacterspacing [hungarian] ["0021] [left=.1,alternative=1] % !
\starttext
Take a look at this; this: this! or this?
Take a look at this.; this.: this.! or this.?
\setcharacterspacing[frenchpunctuation]
Take a look at this; this: this! or this?
\setcharacterspacing[hungarian]
Take a look at this; this: this! or this?
\stoptext
