List,
Is there a way in ConTeXt to adjust the left-side kern for one
character? The cap J in the font I am using is being set too close to
the preceding characters and I would rather not insert a thinspace
before each. (Inserting a thinspace is sufficient, but finer control
is welcome.)
\definecharacterspacing[distantJ]
\setupcharacterspacing[distantJ]["004A][left=.15,alternative=1] % 004A
is the unicode hex index of letter J
\starttext
normal: AJB\par
\setcharacterspacing[distantJ] more space on the left: AJB\par
\resetcharacterspacing normal again: AJB\par
\stoptext
Thank you for that, Massi.
Unfortunately, that is too blunt an instrument in this case -- in
addition to the body font where the problem exists, it works on the
heading and titling font, which does not share the problem.
As Henri's answer hints, I was a bit unclear in my request. It is a kern
between a word space and the cap J that is the issue. Perhaps a font
feature file is the place to do such a thing.
\startluacode
fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature {
name = "kern",
type = "kern",
data = {
[" "] = {
["J"] = 1000 % exaggerated value
Should of course be a Lua comment
["J"] = 1000 -- exaggerated value
}
}
}
\stopluacode
\setupbodyfont[modern] % have to reload the font
\starttext
No Jokes!
\stoptext
