But i should consider all the text parts with a modified kerning

<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

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]
\starttext
\setcharacterkerning[extrakerning]
effe fietsen
\stoptext
Nice! It recognizes the difference between ccmp and liga, so now we
have (almost perfect) support for Sperrdruck! There is a ZWNJ in the
following example (between t and z inZeitzone) that gets expanded,
leaving an enlarged gap.
And I spoke too soon (not unusual, I know). The ſi ligature is not
broken up, but it should be. Only ck, ct, ch, and ſt and tz should be
preserved.
So it looks like manual intervention is still required. (There are a few
LaTeX packages that handle this well, chief among the microtype.)
