Subject: [NTG-context] Zigzag left margin with italics
Date: Sun, 3 Nov 2024 20:34:45 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9169ea95-51e5-4fd3-ae09-076037570800@rik.users.panix.com> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1338 bytes --]
In a paper I recently wrote I noticed some ugly zigzag alignment on the
left margin of one paragraph (set with Libertinus) where a couple of
book titles appeared at the start of the second and fourth lines. The
following example demonstrates the issue.
\definefontfeature [default]
[default]
[protrusion=quality,expansion=quality]
\setupalign [hz,hanging]
\startbuffer
Here is a line of text, the first sentence in the demonstration.\\
{\em Then} the next sentence in the paragraph follows.\\
You can see that the italic {\em T} appears to be a bit indented.\\
{\em There } might be a way to shift it to the left that little bit.\\
Perhaps a protrusion setting.\\
{\em This} does appear to depend to on the font used. With Modern and\\
Libertinus it is worse, with Times a bit better.
\blank
\stopbuffer
\starttext
Modern\\
\getbuffer
Times\\
\setupbodyfont[times]
\getbuffer
Libertinus\\
\setupbodyfont[libertinus]
\getbuffer
\stoptext
How can one set a small left-margin protrusion for the italic T and
possibly other characters? I know it is a small issue, but once seen it
is hard to un-see.
