Here is my exact setup for the project:
=====================
\usetypescript[serif,sans,mono][hanging][hz,normal]
\setupalign[hz,hanging]
\usetypescript[modern-base][texnansi] % a simplified latin-modern
typescript
\usetypescript [map] [latin-modern-os] [texnansi]
\setupbodyfont[reset]
\setupbodyfont[modern,11pt]
=====================
2 problems:
i) bad kerning (subject of this thread);
ii) \type gives way to complaints about missing numerals in lmtt10 (see
other thread "oldstyle bug"). Apparently the <numeral>.oldstyle glyphs
have been renamed <numeral>.taoldstyle. WHY ON EARTH would they do that?!?
Didn't the maintainers realize this would break things? It certainly makes
encoding font collections more difficult.
This is a journal so I need to maintain consistency: can't go back to
upright.
Best
Idris
