HZ with latest ConTeXt

HZ with latest ConTeXt

[Peter Münster]

Hello,

I've just seen the page about hanging and hz on the wiki, so I've tried the
example for lm:

\starttext
\input tufte
\page
\usetypescript[serif,sans,mono][hanging][normal]
\setupalign[hanging] 
\usetypescript[modern-base][\defaultencoding]
\setupbodyfont[reset]
\setupbodyfont[modern]
\input tufte
\page
\usetypescript[serif,sans,mono][hz][highquality]
\setupalign[hanging,hz]
%\usetypescript[modern-base][\defaultencoding]
%\setupbodyfont[reset]
%\setupbodyfont[modern]
\input tufte
\stoptext

I can get hanging but no hz (no difference between 2nd and 3rd page).

What is needed to get hz?

Cheers, Peter

This answer is not definitive but based only on my own experiences.

1) I was unable to get hz in some fonts.  If I haven't missed anything
relevant in extracting this from a large document, the following
fragment gives me hz (and hanging/handling) in NimbusRomNo9L:

\usetypescript[serif,sans,mono][handling][normal]
\usetypescript[serif,sans,mono][hz][highquality]
\setupalign[hanging,hz]
\usetypescript[adobekb][\defaultencoding]
\usetypescript[serif][postscript,courier,helvetica,times]
[\defaultencoding,name]
\setupbodyfont[Serif,13pt]

2) As hz is sometimes not obvious when viewed, I check the fonts in the
resulting PDF to see if any are extended.  Most PDF viewers list the
fonts under File/Properties or similar or you can "pdffonts foo.pdf"
at the command line.

They might not be used with pdftex 1.40, which (from what I gathered
reading the NEWS file) can adjust the local text transform matrix to
do font extension.

so, saying \pdfcompresslevel=0 and taking a look at the page streams may help
