This is strange, because I am using the latest official ConTeXt (2005-03-16) 
with the pdfetex that comes with it:

This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.20a-2.2 (Web2c 7.5.3) ...
:
ConTeXt  ver: 2005.03.16  fmt: 2005.4.18

Hans: If this is indeed the problem, and if there is a pdfetex binary 
compatible with 
ConTeXt ver: 2005.03.16 
on Windows please let me know!

Best
Idris

all four text blocks show right protrusion here, with ConTeXt as of
teTeX-3.0 and pdftex-1.21b-beta. Maybe your pdftex or ConTeXt is too
old. Maybe try pdftex-1.21a.

margin kerning issues

[Idris Samawi Hamid]

Dear gang,

In the following example, margin kerning works for \hyphen and \endash, but 
not for `-' and `--'. I don't think this is an encoding problem, because e.g. 
\hyphen and `-' generate the same output.

Please advise-)

Thnx as always
Idris
