Hello,
Protrusion and expansion seem to be not working anymore when using the
simplefonts module in the latest betas. I used to write something like
\usemodule[simplefonts][protrusion=quality,expansion=quality]
\setupalign[hanging,hz]
\setmainfont[Tex Gyre Bonum]
but that doesn't give me any of the nice effects anymore. Has
something changed in the interface to access those features?
BTW, I would definitely love an option in simplefonts to take care of
this whole setup at once. Something like
\setupmodule[simplefonts][microtypography=yes]
to take care of the first two lines of the previous example. Or at
least imply \setupalign[hanging] when setting the protrusion parameter
and similarly for the expansion parameter.
Thanks,
Vianney

please keep the original key names (protrusion and expansion) as it's
already complex enough .. nowhere we use the term microtypography and it
is a rather meaningless term as there is much micro going on

in many case you don't want to use them both at the same time

Thanks, that does the trick. Any reason why we cannot set these
settings as module parameters anymore?

Ok, that's rational. No problem, I can live without it.

Could you expand a bit more on this? My understanding was that setting
protrusion=quality without \setupalign[hanging] did nothing, but of
course I may be completely wrong.
Thanks,
Vianney

To set both features for all fonts you can use
\setupsimplefonts[expansion=quality,protrusion=quality].

true but it also creates more font data so it uses more memory and slows
down font loading
