Hi Peter,

right this also works but we wont care about spaces in the souce.

Look:

\starttext

Text\hphantom{999}Text

Text\hphantom{999} Text

Text \hphantom{999} Text

\stoptext


Antoher solution for the spacemacro:

\def\MySpace
  {\dosingleempty\doMySpace}

\def\doMySpace[#1]%
  {\unskip\hphantom{#1}\ignorespaces}

\starttext

Text\hphantom{999}Text

Text\hphantom{999} Text

Text \hphantom{999} Text

\stoptext

and we have always the same gap.

Wolfgang
