Hi,
the stretch effect does not take the final width of the string into
account. Is this a bug or a limitation? Example:
\starttext
(\effect[stretch]{fftabc})\par %% “c” collides with “)”
(\kerncharacters[.05]fftabc) %% no collision
\stoptext
these are unrelated mechanisms where the first one just does some pdf
magic ... no feedback to tex about widths (ok, i could write something
better but never had and still don't have a reason for that kind of low
level pdf based approach to be really deeply integrated)
a better test is this:
(\effect[stretch]{\dorecurse{50}{x}})\par %% “c” collides with “)”
