Ah. Ok that explains it. This means that in latex/fontspec it works with \setmainfont[Renderer=basic]{...}. > Anyhow, context users will not use that command / method but instead use > \kerncharacters[fraction], as in: > > {test {\kerncharacters[.5] test \bf test} test} \kerncharacters is define in typo-krn. As far as I can see from luatex-fonts.lua the generic code doesn't load typo-krn. Does that mean that letterspacing in node-mode with latex would need some new code? -- Ulrike Fischer ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
