I have examples at http://home.salamander.com/~wmcclain/context-help.html. I think the effect is noticeable and desireable for printed books, but "pure" hanging punctuation is too much of a good thing. Each typeface needs customized parameters for each letter to get a smooth effect. I can provide the settings I use for Adobe Sabon and Jenson. It helps paragraph filling also. It seems that any additional degree of freedom TeX has when formatting the paragraph results in more evenly colored text. Note that margin kerning occurs only for paragraph justification. That is, if you have text within /startlines ... /stoplines, neither left nor right margins will be kerned. As someone who came to TeX late in life, I am very pleased with the typographical results. I can really "wow" people who appreciate such things. -Bill -- Sattre Press The King in Yellow http://sattre-press.com/ by Robert W. Chambers info@sattre-press.com http://kiy.sattre-press.com/
