I don't know whether that's possible at all, but if yes, it would be great to see how one could modify kerning tables etc. Often a font needs to be groomed but its license places some restrictions on modifying the file itself... > > > +1 This is somewhat tricky. Actually I had a mechanism for that but I discarded the code. However there will be a feature like that some day as it needs a rather tight integration in the core of context's font handling. (btw, there is a feature for type 1 fonts that adds 'missing' kerns based on shape codes).
