French spacing before punctuation

French spacing before punctuation

[Peter Münster]

Hello,

what do I need to do, to get the new automatic spacing before punctuation
with recent pdfetex?
- What version of pdfetex?
- What version of ConTeXt?
- And what commands to configure this?

TIA for any hint!
Cheers, Peter

see hand-def, end of file (i need to look into it again because thanh 
added some more variants, so some of the definition commands may change; 
this will not hurt the higher level usage)

Hello Hans,
I tried the following test file, but nothing happens:

\enableregime[il1]
\starttext
\definefontsynonym[myfont][Serif][handling=prespacing]
\definefont[whatever][myfont sa 1]
\setupalign[spacing]

\whatever look at this: we now have a proper spacing feature and, hurray,
get rid of active punctuation!

bla «XXX» bla, bla, «bla», bla

\definefontsynonym[myotherfont][Serif][handling=glm]
\definefont[whatevertwo][myotherfont sa 1]
\whatevertwo
bla «XXX» bla, bla, «bla», bla
\stoptext
