I'm typesetting some proceedings which include a good number of round

The trouble is that excessive space is often introduced between the
bracket and the punctuation. I can control the excessive space that
sometimes occurs between ) and . by using )\periods[1], although this
ruins the protrusion if it occurs at the end of a line.
Does anyone know how I might be able to somehow "tie" ) to . , ; : so
that the distance remains reasonable, and so that protrusion still
works?
you first have to make an MWE that demonstrates how protrusion works
here ... then we can see how we can best deal with it
Anyway, often tricks for this can be found in the test suite of font
manual(s) ... here is a variant ...
\startluacode
fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature {
name = "mykerns",
type = "kern",
data = {
[")"] = {
[","] = -300,
["."] = -300,
[":"] = -250,
[";"] = -250,
[")"] = -100,
},
},
}
\stopluacode
\definefontfeature[default][default][mykerns=true]
\setupbodyfont [dejavu,12pt]
\startTEXpage[offset=10pt]
