Hi there,
at the moment I use for my book
\definepapersize[MyBook][A5]
\setuppapersize[MyBook][A5]
\usemodule [simplefonts][size=11pt]
\setmainfont[Times New Roman][expansion=quality,protrusion=quality]
\setupalign [hanging]
\setuptolerance[stretch]
\tolerance 70
Is it suitable to use tolerance and stretch in this way together? Of
course I want a nice type area - but for me that means that I definitely
don't want a word written in the margin! (That happens with the default
\tolerance 250 (without using stretch).
What would you recommend? Are there other values to play with, to get a
better result?
Thanks
Huseyin

Are you sure, you want to use stretch? It will probably product
ugly results.
> \tolerance 70
Why 70? I don't understand the use of stretch with such a strict
tolerance. What about using
\setuptolerance [tolerant] %% or verytolerant
instead of using stretch?
> Is it suitable to use tolerance and stretch in this way together?
It will probably work (though I never used it myself), but using the
ConTeXt interface \setuptolerance is the better approach.

Use a higher tolerance, not a lower one.

What version are you using? A current ConTeXt has the \tolerance set to 200.
\starttext\the\tolerance\stoptext
