Hi,
I am trying to typeset some strings in {\tt ...}, but they turn out to be pretty wide. So, I would like to compress those bits of text a little. Any hints on how I could do that locally, that is without adjusting the entire font.
Thank you,
Malte.

\starttext
\definecharacterkerning[tight][factor=-.5]
test {\tt \setcharacterkerning[tight]tight} test
\stoptext
(Btw, there is a narrow monospaced lm font)

I implemented it by redefining \tt:
\definecharacterkerning[tight][factor=-.075]
\let\oldtt=\tt
\def\tt{\setcharacterkerning[tight]\oldtt}
However, I find this a bit of a kludge. But opinions may differ, of course.
Can this be done in a more general way? For example by setting some font feature?

no, becasue it is independent of font features (and also less efficient
that using a narrow tt font)
