hanging punctuation strange behavior

hanging punctuation strange behavior

[Denis B. Roegel]

I have had problems with protruding characters.

When I try 

%output=pdftex
\usetypescript [serif,sans,mono] [hanging] [pure]
\definetypeface
[modern][rm][serif][computer-modern][default][handling=pure,encoding=ec]
\definetypeface
[modern][ss][sans][computer-modern][default][handling=pure,encoding=ec]
\setupalign[hanging,tolerant]
\starttext
\modern
\ss
\startcolumns[n=3]
\input zapf
\stopcolumns
\stoptext

I get hanging punctuation only on commas.

If I try instead

%output=pdftex
\usetypescript [serif,sans,mono] [hanging] [pure]
\definetypeface
[modern][rm][serif][computer-modern][default][handling=pure,encoding=e
c]
\definetypeface
[modern][ss][sans][computer-modern][default][handling=pure,encoding=ec
]
\setupalign[hanging,tolerant]
\starttext
\modern
\ss
\startcolumns[n=3]
\input zapf
\stopcolumns
\stoptext

(watch the wrongly broken lines, that's what I first got by email), 
I get a better result, with hyphens also protruding.

Hence, I still don't have a good clean working example of 
character protruding. I think I will forget about that for tomorrow's
talk. (Answers are less urgent now, because I will no longer have
the time to take them into account.)
