Hello all,
Playing with define/setup/set characterspacing, I have come across some
odd, perhaps buggy, behavior. This applies to both MkIV 2020.11.19 11:23
and LMTX 2020.11.19 11:28.
The problem is that character spacing is not effected for the left side
of the comma character. It is handled as expected for other characters
that I have tested, but I have not performed extensive tests.
Example code:
\definecharacterspacing[Test]
\setupcharacterspacing [Test] ["002C] [left
=.25,right=1,alternative=1] % ,
\setupcharacterspacing [Test] ["0065]
[left=0.5,right=1,alternative=1] % e
\setupcharacterspacing [Test] ["003B]
[left=0.5,right=1,alternative=1] % e
\startTEXpage[offset=1em]
abc; def, g
\setcharacterspacing[Test]abc; def, g
\stopTEXpage
Output:

remove the space between "left" and "="

I should have know better than to copy as I did from the source code
without analyzing it sufficiently! In typo-spa.mkiv I found:
\setupcharacterspacing [frenchpunctuation] ["003A] [\c!left
=.25,\c!alternative=1] % : ...
I see (now) that the space disappears when the \c!left macro is
processed. Mea culpa. I owe you a beer.
