A few days ago I started a wiki page about the intentional and/or unavoidab= le differences between MKIV and MKII.

=A0http://wiki.contextgarden.net/MkIV_Differences

The page is not intended for actual bugs, but: if you know of
any 'disturbing' differences please add them to that page, then
Hans and I can investigate whether the difference is intentional
or a bug.

It says this on the page: "It shou= ld come as no surprise that mode=3Dnode generates different effects,= but even with a traditional font setup there are incompatibilies unless yo= u use tfm-only fonts."

Could you explain what mode=3Dnode does? I've seen it mentioned man= y times but I still don't know what its purpose is. I searched the ConT= eXt site (using the search box), and didn't find any other useful infor= mation on it except that it affects kerning, but how? What are the advantag= es and disadvantages of using it? When should you use it?

Mika
