Dear list,
I have the following sample:
\definefontfeature[effect]%[effect=.2]
[effect={width=.3,delta=0.4,factor=0.3}]
\definefontfeature[oldle][onum=yes]
\setupbodyfont[palatino]
\starttext
{\feature[+][effect]1234567890}
1234567890 {\feature[+][oldle]1234567890}
\stoptext
I wonder why the first font feature ("effect") doesn’t work. What am I
missing?
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

because effects are not regular features so you need to create a new
instance (which makes sense as you cannot turn a regular font into an
italic or bold one either this way)

Many thanks for your explanation, Hans.
The new font instance is what I was missing in many of the issues I had
with features.
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

Sorry, Hans, but I don’t remember. These two months are being demanding
and my memory is far from being perfect.
I think my problems were related to glyph shapes. But in any case, if I
detect what I think it might be a bug, rest assured I’ll report it.
