I have had problems with protruding characters. When I try
%output=pdftex \usetypescript [serif,sans,mono] [hanging] [pure] \definetypeface [modern][rm][serif][computer-modern][default][handling=pure,encoding=ec] \definetypeface [modern][ss][sans][computer-modern][default][handling=pure,encoding=ec] \setupalign[hanging,tolerant] \starttext \modern \ss \startcolumns[n=3] \input zapf \stopcolumns \stoptext I get hanging punctuation only on commas. If I try instead %output=pdftex \usetypescript [serif,sans,mono] [hanging] [pure] \definetypeface [modern][rm][serif][computer-modern][default][handling=pure,encoding=e c] \definetypeface [modern][ss][sans][computer-modern][default][handling=pure,encoding=ec ] \setupalign[hanging,tolerant] \starttext \modern \ss \startcolumns[n=3] \input zapf \stopcolumns \stoptext (watch the wrongly broken lines, that's what I first got by email), I get a better result, with hyphens also protruding. Hence, I still don't have a good clean working example of character protruding. I think I will forget about that for tomorrow's talk. (Answers are less urgent now, because I will no longer have the time to take them into account.) Denis
