Hi,
I noticed that after the command \kerncharacters, I can not use the normal sequence "---" for em-dash. Is there any work around of this effect? Thanks.
\starttext
One monolithic symbol: ---
\kerncharacters[.5]
Three separate symbol: ---
\stoptext

This is expected, since \kerncharacters breaks ligatures and the ---
→ — transformation is implemented using the ligature mechanism. You
can either use — or \emdash. Since -, – and — are hardly
distinguishable in the source, I'd settle for \emdash.
\starttext
foo --- bar\par
foo — bar\par
foo \emdash\ bar
\kerncharacters[.5]
foo --- bar\par
foo — bar\par
foo \emdash\ bar
