'kern': TrueType table and GPOS lookup feature

["Pablo Rodríguez" <oinos@web.de>]

Hi there,

sorry for bothering again with this issue, but I need to be sure in
order to properly report to the font developer of FreeSerif.

I have the following file:

\usemodule[simplefonts][size=25pt]
\definefontfeature[latins][default][script=latn]
\setmainfont[FreeSerif]
\starttext
\showfontkerns
dadedidodufafefifofufrflftlalelilolutatetitotu\par
\addfs{latins}
dadedidodufafefifofufrflftlalelilolutatetitotu\par
\stoptext

The first line has no GPOS kern enabled and the second line has it.

In order to report it to the font developer (I have the problem not with
ConTeXt, but with my ereader [I used ConTeXt to check the font
features), I have the following questions:

-In the example above, is the old TrueType kern enabled on the first line?

-If not, how can I enable it, without enabling the liga or kern OpenType
features?

I need this to see the actual kerning form the old TrueType kern table
(I suspect it hasn't the same values as the OpenType kern feature).

Many thanks for your help,


Pablo
