Dear list,
the following sample breaks some words not right in Win64 (I cannot
reproduce it in Linux):
\enabledirectives[fonts.injections.method=advance]
\setuppapersize[A6]
\definefontfamily[mainface][rm]
[TeX Gyre Pagella]
\setupbodyfont[mainface]
\starttext
\input zapf
\stoptext
Copying text from latest Acrobat Reader DC, I get:
Coming back to the use of typefaces in
electronic publishing: many of the new
typog raphers receive their knowledge and
infor mation about the rules of typog raphy
from books, from com puter mag azines
or the instruction manuals which
they get with the purchase of a PC or software.
There is not so much basic instruction,
as of now, as there was in the old
days, showing the differences between good
and bad typographic design. Many people
are just fascinated by their PC's tricks,
and think that a widely--praised program,
called up on the screen, will make everything
automatic from now on.
Lines 3-5 contain word breaks that make searching impossible.
This seems to be added by fonts.injections.method=advance.
Could anyone on Windows confirm this issue?
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

But it seems to depend on your PDF viewer. Results in Sumatra and Acrobat differ. Many thanks for your confirmation, Denis. With SumatraPDF 3.1.2, I get lines without spaces between words, too. But the wrong extra extra spaces inside some words are wrong even in Acrobat. Of course, I would like not have all correct spaces in SumatraPDF. But the issue in Acrobat may be a bug.
