[NTG-context] is there a way to control kearning and word spacing

I know that ConTeXt does a good job kearning and determing spaces between words. However, is there a way to actually specify different kearning and word spacing than the default? Thanks Paul -- *Paul Tremblay * [EMAIL PROTECTED]* _

[NTG-context] typing questions

Hello, here a few questions about typing: - Is there a module for pretty-printing C-code? - How could I change the tabulator-width? - First tab is only 7 spaces, the other 8, why? - How could I embed ConTeXt macros? - Where does the vertical space in \framed come from? Some of these questions

Dear gang, The [ownnumber=yes] option overflows ConTeXt's memory, and I have not found an adjustment to texmf.cnf to fix it (mswincontext 3-16, 2005). I increased the param and stack sizes by an entire order of magnitude. Other options such as [ownnumber=no] work fine. This bug is not benign:-
