Good point, it should be clarified it is a default vector set, which can be further customized (extended). My info is based on this Wiki http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Protrusion pointing to this source code: http://source.contextgarden.net/font-ext.lua By that subset I mean the table vectors['default'] > Concerning homogenization, context has support for dynamically aplying > feature (alternates) to improve the look and feel but of course not > many fonts have multiple variants for glyphs grouped in stylistic > alternates so this mechanism is hardly used (only for some arabic). Yes, I am aware of this, but it is indeed not very obvious from the text.
