Hi Floris,

Thank you for asking. Consider the following MWE:

\setupbodyfont[cambria]
%\setupquotation[method=font]
\starttext
\quotation{A}\crlf
“A”
\stoptext

In the output rendering of the above (see attachment), the first line lacks
kerning between the double quotes and the letter A. This can be enabled by
saying \setupquotation[method=font]. At least that is what I know about
this option. Am I wrong? Is there a different option for enabling this?

Regards,
Christoph

PS: Sorry for the wrong subject line of my previous email. It is corrected
now.

Dear Floris (or anybody from the list),

Could you please confirm (or deny) that the following MWE produces an error
with the currently latest version of ConTeXt:

\setupquotation[method=font]
\starttext
\quotation{A}
\stoptext

Thank you,
Christoph

Hi Christoph,

I’m afraid it fails:

tex error       > tex error on line 3 in file a.tex: ! Extra }, or
forgotten \endgroup
l.3 \quotation{A}
 1     \setupquotation[method=font]
 2     \starttext
 3 >>  \quotation{A}
 4     \stoptext

Just in case it helps,

Pablo

Thank you Pablo for pointing me to the developer's mailing list. I have not
thought about searching through that. So, this is good news for me and I
will wait for the fix.

Cheers, Christoph

Christoph,

I’m subscribed to that list and I just saw the message.

Thank you Pablo for confirming this!

Does anybody know whether this is a bug or whether it is the wrong way
to enable font-based kerning for quotations?

Cheers,
Christoph

Hi Christoph,

from the devel mailing list
(https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/dev-context/2017/003422.html): this is
a bug and it there is a fix for it.

It will be applied in one of the next betas (but you can patch your
ConTeXt distribution yourself).

I hope it helps,

Pablo

Quotation with method=font produces error

[Christoph Reller]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 272 bytes --]

Hi,

In previous versions of ConTeXt the following MWE worked:

\setupquotation[method=font]
\starttext
\quotation{A}
\stoptext

In more recent versions, the above produces an error:

! Extra }, or forgotten \endgroup
l.3 \quotation{A}

Is this a bug?

Regards,
Christoph
