Hi list,

I have problems typesetting various blackletter fonts with context (up to 2012.01.03 with luatex beta-0.70.1-2011051923 (rev 4277) using the suite).

Here's an example (using oldengl.ttf[1]):
---
\starttext \definedfont[file:oldengl*default]
\input knuth
\stoptext
--

The resulting PDF (attached) has a wide space between each of the letters.

Is this a problem with the font(s) itself or with context/luatex?
(As a comparison I've tested these fonts with OpenOffice as well, and had no such issues.)

Best wishes,
Adam
