Sorry, my question was inaccurate. I know that kerning information is in the font, but it is ConTeXt that uses this information (or not). As far as I know, there are two kinds of kerningns: an OT kern feature from the GPOS table and an old TrueType 'kern' table. In the following sample OpenType features aren't enabled: \usemodule[simplefonts][size=3D30pt] \setmainfont[FreeSerif] \starttext dadedidodufafefifofufrflftlalelilolutatetitotu\par {\em dadedidodufafefifofufrflftlalelilolutatetitotu\par} {\bf dadedidodufafefifofufrflftlalelilolutatetitotu\par} {\bf\em dadedidodufafefifofufrflftlalelilolutatetitotu\par} \stoptext I'm using TrueType fonts of FreeSerif. Isn't the TrueType 'kern' enabled by default in ConTeXt? (The glyphs in the example above have no kerning at all, so I wonder whether at least the TrueType 'kern' table should be used by ConTeXt.)
