Dear syndicate,
Sometimes I make a definition like
\def\TR{\it}
for certain purposes (structural consistency, etc.). How do I modify
this to automatically do an italic correction the way \em is set up to
do in \ConTeXt?
======================
By the way, did Hans ever make a "final" ConTeXt logo? I still think
that
\def\Context{{\sc C\kern -.0667emo\kern -.0667emn\kern -.0549emt\kern
-.1667em\lower
.5ex\hbox {e}\kern -.125emx\kern -.0549emt}}
looks better than Con\TeX{}t (and the smaller \TeX better reflects its
relative role in the whole package), and I've been using the former up
to now. Hope that's not a problem-)
best
Idris

I'd do it like this:
\def\TR{\aftergroup \emphasiscorrection\it}
see the examples:
\def\TR{\aftergroup \/\it}
\startlines
{\it this is a roof}right?
{\TR this is a roof}right?
{\TR this is a roof}, right?
\def\TR{\aftergroup \emphasiscorrection\it}
{\TR this is a roof}right?
{\TR this is a roof}, right?
\stoplines
But I bet that there is a more clever way.

Of course:
\def\MyIt{\groupedcommand\it\/}
\ruledhbox{\it oeps}
\ruledhbox{\MyIt{oeps}}
\ruledhbox{{\MyIt oeps}}

I came across \groupedcommand some time ago and I wondered why it is
in there (and not in supp-fun.tex for example...). OK, I still don't
understand \HandleGroup ... completely, but the day just began and
coffee is almost ready.

it's a clever command, since it supports \something{grouped} as well as
{\something ...}

To suit your needs i've added:
\def\italicsequence#1#2%
{\ifx\fontalternative\c!sl#1\else
\ifx\fontalternative\c!it#1\else
\ifx\fontalternative\c!bs#1\else
\ifx\fontalternative\c!bi#1\else#2\fi\fi\fi\fi}
\def\symbolicscaledfont#1#2%
{\scaledfont\fontbody
\scaledfont#1\scaledfont
\font\definedfont\truefontname{\glyphfontfile{#2}} at
\currentfontbodyscale\scaledfont
\definedfont}
\def\symbolicfont
{\symbolicscaledfont\plusone}
\unexpanded\def\getscaledglyph#1#2#3%
{{\symbolicscaledfont{#1}{#2}\doifnumberelse{#3}\char\donothing#3}}
\def\Context
{\dontleavehmode{C\kern -.0667em\getscaledglyph{.8}\empty{O\kern
-.0667emN\kern
-.0549emT\italicsequence{\kern-.1em}{\kern-.1667em}\lower.5ex\hbox
{E}\italicsequence\empty{\kern-.11em}X\kern-.055emT}}}
This one adapts itself to sizes and styles and ...
{\Context \Context \sl \Context \bid\Context}
(maybe some values will change)

Hi,
is italic correction still supported with MkIV because in the following example the second sentence has the same length as the first.
% engine=pdftex
\starttext
\setbox\scratchbox\hbox{A short sentence with a {\it italic} word.} \the\wd\scratchbox\ : \box\scratchbox\par
\setbox\scratchbox\hbox{A short sentence with a {\it italic\/} word.} \the\wd\scratchbox\ : \box\scratchbox
\stoptext
Wolfgang

yes and no:
yes: the code is there
no : it has not been adapted to the font cleanup
So, first fix this in font-ext.lua:
local descriptions = tfmdata.descriptions
for unicode, d in next, tfmdata.characters do
local d = descriptions[unicode]
Then enable the feature:
\starttext
\definefontfeature[one][default]
\definefontfeature[two][default][itlc=yes]
\definefont[testa][SerifItalic*one]
\definefont[testb][SerifItalic*two]
\setbox\scratchbox\hbox{A short sentence with a {\testa italic} word.}
\the\wd\scratchbox\ : \box\scratchbox\par
\setbox\scratchbox\hbox{A short sentence with a {\testa italic\/} word.}
\the\wd\scratchbox\ : \box\scratchbox
\setbox\scratchbox\hbox{A short sentence with a {\testb italic} word.}
\the\wd\scratchbox\ : \box\scratchbox\par
\setbox\scratchbox\hbox{A short sentence with a {\testb italic\/} word.}
\the\wd\scratchbox\ : \box\scratchbox
\stoptext

Works. Can this be added to the default features?
