Hi all,

short example in extra big size to make the effect visible:

\setupbodyfont [termes,48pt]

\mainlanguage [de]

\starttext

„Vater“

\quotation{Vater}

\stoptext

In the first line, the character „ has a bit of kerning with the following V (could be even more, to my taste). With \quotation, the gap between them is very large. Could the kerning be applied in this case too? Or is it better to use the raw „? (After I have taught emacs to auto-insert \quotation{ and } when I type a quotation mark…)

Thomas
