Hi all,
I’m trying to typeset a document using Lucida Type1 fonts. Primes are put way too high. Also, kerning with punctuation characters placed after a prime are too wide. This can be seen in attached rendering of below example.
$e,\sigma \rightarrow e',\sigma’$
Is there a quick way to fix this? I don’t have access tot the OTF unfortunately. Running ConTeXt TeXlive 2019 on macOS 10.15.3.
Cheers,
Tim

P.S. Same thing happens with math placed on top of arrows, like here
$e,\sigma \xrightarrow{i} e',\sigma’$
Like to fix that too.
Cheers,
Tim

I'm sorry for the bad news but without a patch for the font (which can
probably applied with a goodies file) there is nothing which can be
done. As the Type 1 version of the Lucida fonts had a few problems in
the last few years with ConTeXt MkIV I don't think Hans has much
interest to fix them again (especially when you can expect new problems
in the future).
The best way here is to use another font or spend the money for the
OpenType version.
Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang,
That 's a pity indeed. I played around a bit and found a dirty hack
using catcodes. Maybe not the best solution, but it works for me.
Posting it here for future reference.
```
\define\textprime{'}
\makecharacteractive '
\define'{\lowerbox{0.3ex}\hbox{\math{\textprime}}}
```
Cheers,
Tim
