Dear all,
how can I access font parameters (e.g. the thickness of the fraction rule) of an OpenType font in MkIV? Taco once gave me the solution:
---
\usetypescript[cambria]
\setupbodyfont[cambria]
\def\defaultrulethickness{\the\fontdimen8\textfont3\relax}
\starttext
\the\defaultrulethickness
\stoptext
---
which used to work in the old MkII days. Now with MkIV I get:
---
! Font \nullfont has only 7 fontdimen parameters.
<to be read again>
\relax
l.10 \the\defaultrulethickness
?
---
What's the new method to obtain the desired parameters?
Best wishes,
Oliver

More parameters can be found in the LuaTeX manual at http://www.luatex.org/svn/trunk/manual/luatexref-t.pdf in section 5.4 on pages 114f. (Boy, did it take me time to discover this! Seriously.)
