Hi Jano,
Seems to me that there are a few options and you might need more than
one of them, depending on the font/typefaces you are using (which
obviously influences things):
1. One factor will be whether you are using \definefontfeature

Hello,
trying to reproduce the hand-printed original as close as possible I'm
using \setupcharacterkerning. I can match character kerning, but inter-word
spaces are different. What is the right option, command or feature to
change it for current font and/or in the font definition? I haven't found
That’s got it, Hans! I have replaced all my old “.\ ” with “.|~|”. My
pages look much better now. Many thanks indeed.
All best, Alan

Alan,
If you wand quick and dirty because you are against a hard deadline, use
inline math mode and insert negative space $\!$ AFTER the x. and
IMMEDIATELY BEFORE the next bit. You could also define a macro \negspace
to do it as well:
\def\negspace{$\!$}
so that
x, x. \negspace x x
will yield

Thanks, Peter. You are right about (Plain) TeX--I just got into the
habit of inserting them.
Defining my own macro to reproduce the control space is a possibility,
and I will do that IF the current behavior of “.\ ’ and the tilde in
MKII is not remedied. (I have not switched to MKIV yet, bu

My original query has generated some interesting sidelines but no
solution, at least none that I can see. So, with all due apologies, I
shall presume on your patience by restating my query.
In (English) typography the spacing after a period within a sentence
is less that that after a period

It's in cont-eni on page 72. However, I have not needed the command
until recently - I have used the tilde to create narrower space

Thanks, David.
I had not realized that there was a command \fixedspaces. Is it
documented somewhere?
The sample file
\starttext
\fixedspaces
A. E. Samuel\crlf
A.\ E.\ Samuel\crlf
A.~E.~Samuel
\stoptext
still produces the same spacing for “A. E. Samuel” and “A.\ E.\
Samuel”. The spacing

That is my understanding too, Wolfgang. But I am just not seeing it
either in the example or in my documents.
So what’s up? As I said in a more recent posting, this is affecting my
journal adversely.
