Hans, hello. I have a question regarding a new version of my font setup in 
context:

\definefontfeature[generalfeatures][default][
    kern=yes, % enables kerning
    extrakerns=yes, % enables extra kerning
    trep=yes, % Enables single and double quotes to show up correctly in text, 
perhaps does more
    liga=yes, % Enables ligatures.
    itlc=yes, % Activates italic correction.
    mark=yes, % Used for positioning diacritical marks (accents, dots, etc.) 
relative to base characters.
    mkmk=yes, % positions diacritical marks relative to other marks
    locl=yes,
    ccmp=yes, % Composes multiple characters into a single glyph or breaks down 
ligatures.
    mode=node,
    protrusion=yes,
    expansion=yes,
    language=dflt,
]

\definefontfamily [myfonts] [rm]        [Times New Roman] 
[features=generalfeatures,dlig=yes,cpsp=yes,] % dlig enables times new roman 
ligatures, and cpsp is used by tnr, not aptos
\definefontfamily [myfonts] [ss]        [Aptos]           
[features=generalfeatures,]
\definetypeface   [myfonts] [mm] [math] [stixtwo]         
[features=generalfeatures,]

\setupbodyfont[myfonts,12pt]

1. is extrakerns setup correctly? how can I tell if extrakerns will work? Since 
only kerns shows up in the OpenType features for TNR and Aptos. I wonder if it 
is like trep, which seems to be a context option for fonts.

2. What exactly does locl do if in tnr and aptos the option supports the latin 
script? (aptos also supports cyrl, and tnr also supports arab)

3. mode=node. I see that base is also an option in the settings sig page in 
context wiki, and ChatGPT told me node is the more 'complete', accurate, glyph 
based option that is typographically better, but takes more time to produce 
when used in a doc. Is this the case?
