But i should consider all the text parts with a modified kerning and
disable kerning around character sequences like "ff", "ffi", "fl" and
so on. Luckily, the XHTML markup "knows" where the kerning is modified:
<p class="wide">A paragraph with a modified kerning</p>
should become
<p class="wide">A paragraph with a modi<dk>fi</dk>ed kerning</p>
Where <dk>...</dk> (dk=Disable Kerning) are tags to be inserted
automatically before feeding the XHTML into ConTeXt.
I'm not very happy or proud about it, but it can be done.
Do you think it can be better done inside ConTeXt?
I nearly managed to do it in ConTeXt, but I can't create the "<dk>"
elements right (the "new_dk_element" function is wrong):
did you play with
\definefontfeature[whatever][keepligatures=auto]
\definecharacterkerning [extrakerning] [factor=0.125,features=whatever]
