Subject: Context equivalent to \kern-1pt

Hi all,

Still working on the birth announcement. I tried to do some manual kerning 
tweaking on some of the characters, and I used \kern to achieve this. 
However, this low level command seems (I quite sure about that) to influence 
the allignment of the paragraph, which is centered by 
\steluitlijnenin[midden] in the preamble.
So, my question is easy: is there a high level command in ConTeXt which does 
manaual kerning and doesn't affect allignment?
Thanks for your comments,

Maarten Wisse

P.S. Just a note which might be interesting for ConTeXt users. Hans uses 
Lucida fonts quite frequently, but they are not free. Now, in XFree86 4.0, 
the new version of Windows which is used on Linux distributions, Y&Y has 
freely provided a font called Lucidux which is a clone of Lucida. Make tfm 
and vf out of that, and you have at least Lucida, Lucida Bright and Lucida 
Sans. Nice for presentations for instance. Just change the presentation 
style file to Lucidux and it's fixed.
