I am trying to reuse code of a project from 2017 with TL23 context. (Other
questions probably coming up...)
Back then I used font handlers to fix some smaller problems in the font, i.e. a
wrongly placed small capital and missing kerning for the small caps.
The following code works with context 2017.04.27 01:00 MKIV beta but has
stopped having any effect using recent context (2023.05.05 18:36 LMTX).
There are no error messages.
Has the syntax changed? Or is the functionality dropped completely?
I was also wondering why it has never been working to adjust the kerning for
the regular letters, e.g. "A" and "V" in the example, neither in 2017 nor today.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Florian.
