 Many thanks, Hans:

Well, it's a tracing option so don't expect miracles and integration  
with other features (like color). I'll add things like


   \definefontfeature[default][default][boundingbox=yes]
   \definefontfeature[default][default][boundingbox=background]
   \definefontfeature[default][default][boundingbox=frame]

   \definefontfeature[default][default][boundingbox={background,empty}]
   \definefontfeature[default][default][boundingbox={frame,empty}]

   \definefontfeature[default][default][boundingbox={frame,red,empty}]

as additional (probably never used) featurecreep but for sure will  
forget to document it etc etc


Thanks Hans. The current development workflow could use an option to see  
the bbox structure without seeing the glyphs (along with \showfontkerns as  
well)... a "geometric" view of the font in action so to speak.

[NTG-context] replace characters with bounding boxes

2017-07-20 Thread Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي حامد 

Dear gang,

Given a set body font and text, how does one replace all characters of  
that font in that text with the corresponding rectangular bounding boxes?


Once an answer to the above is spelled out: How does one control the width  
of the lines which make up the bounding boxes?


Thank you in advance.

Best wishes
Idris
