List,
Is there a way in ConTeXt to adjust the left-side kern for one
character? The cap J in the font I am using is being set too close to
the preceding characters and I would rather not insert a thinspace
before each. (Inserting a thinspace is sufficient, but finer control
is welcome.)
\definecharacterspacing[distantJ]
\setupcharacterspacing[distantJ]["004A][left=.15,alternative=1] % 004A
is the unicode hex index of letter J
\starttext
normal: AJB\par
\setcharacterspacing[distantJ] more space on the left: AJB\par
\resetcharacterspacing normal again: AJB\par
\stoptext
Thank you for that, Massi.
Unfortunately, that is too blunt an instrument in this case -- in
addition to the body font where the problem exists, it works on the
heading and titling font, which does not share the problem.
As Henri's answer hints, I was a bit unclear in my request. It is a
kern
between a word space and the cap J that is the issue. Perhaps a font
feature file is the place to do such a thing.
\startluacode
fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature {
name = "kern",
type = "kern",
data = {
[" "] = {
["J"] = 1000 % exaggerated value
Should of course be a Lua comment
["J"] = 1000 -- exaggerated value
}
}
}
\stopluacode
\setupbodyfont[modern] % have to reload the font
\starttext
No Jokes!
\stoptext
Henri,
This looks very promising. It works, mostly. That is, all fonts that use
default fontfeatures pick up the change. So, for example, the companion
sansserif for my body font also gets it even though that is not what I want.
I can remove kerning from the default fontfeatures and add it back just
for the problematic font, but that means no kerning for the sans font.
Is there a way to apply this to one font only (serif upright, bold,
italic, ...) or even a single face (upright), perhaps by giving it a
unique name? I have tried a few variations but had no success. The
fonts-mkiv manual has very little on this, and the cld manual nothing.

Without a minimal example there is no way to tell why you get this error
