Tracking?

Tracking?

[Yue Wang]

Hi,

In macrotype (a latex package which uses pdftex extension), I can use
tracking when I want to assign a small caps font.
How can I do that in ConTeXt?

Thanks.

Yue Wang

He means the letterspacing feature from pdfTeX.

Wolfgang is right. And are there such higher level macros in ConTeXt?
Thanks!

In MkII it is integrated in the font handling mechanism
like protrusion and hz. To stretch words or short sentences
the \stretched command could be used.

In MkIV you can use \setcharacterkerning, you can use it like
the \lsseries command.

And how do you do this with your two above features.

The code doesn't work here. MKII report that set characterkerning is
not defined.

I told this in my other mail.

ConTeXt  ver: 2009.02.04 11:53 MKIV  fmt: 2009.2.5  int: english/english

This is luaTeX, Version snapshot-0.33.1

But I get the same error message when I one of ConTeXt example files,
e.g. "\setcharacterkerning[extrakerning]\input knuth "

Hi,


> I told this in my other mail.

You said that I can use something like \stretched{LETTER}.
How can I automatically adjust the spacing? (like add 0.25em space
between each characters).

Yes, I test the document with "knuth"

The correct command \strechednormalcase, not \stretched.

You can set the kerning between chars with \stretchedspaceamount
and the space between words with \stretchedspacefactor.

\def\stretchedspacefactor{4}     % default value
\def\stretchedspaceamount{.25em} % default value

\starttext

This is a normal kerned sentence.

\stretchednormalcase{This is a special kerned sentence.}

Another solution for pdfTeX is to use \knbccode and \knaccode.

A shorter version is:

\dostepwiserecurse{65}{122}{1}
   {\knbccode\font#1=125 \knaccode\font#1=125 }
