Dear all,

I am thinking about moving from LaTeX to ConTeXt. But there is one thing make 
this particularly difficult. That is the microtype LaTeX package. More 
specifically I have the following questions (assuming I will use MKIV and 
luatex)

1. I understand that ConTeXt can do margin kerning and font expansion, but is 
there a way to setup a configuration file for each font set. Like the 
mt-foo.cfg file for font family foo when using microtype in latex.

2. Is there a way to do letterspace in ConTeXt. I understand there is a command 
called \stretched. But what I want is the feature like the tracking option in 
microtype package, which can automatically letterspace all small caps. Moreover 
is there a way to define new sets of fonts for letterspace. For example I 
defined a new font shape called \capshape, which use  case tags of OpenType, 
and I want to use letterspace this shape with certain amount  all the time 
because I am not satisfied with the space provided by the cpsp tag of OpenType.

I am sorry for using and LaTeX terminology. I haven't start learning ConTeXt at 
all at this stage. I want to first know if it provide all the features I need 
before I spend my time on learning a new language.
