Dear All,
I've finished a rough comparision of various engines for their
typographical quality: http://drifted.in/publishing/
From my point of view the ConTeXt is the best offering in this
field to date, so congratulation!
If you find something inappropriate or misleading in my text, please
comment or let me know.
If my ConTeXt examples could be written more efficiently, I am open
to fix it.
Font expansion only, applied to a limited character subset
Is that true? It is applied to any character that you want, of course
given that you associate expansion factors, but that happens for quite
some characters in context.
Good point, it should be clarified it is a default vector set, which can be
further customized (extended).
My info is based on this Wiki http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Protrusion
pointing to this source code:
http://source.contextgarden.net/font-ext.lua
By that subset I mean the table vectors['default']
yes but we also initialize all similar shapes
Concerning homogenization, context has support for dynamically aplying
feature (alternates) to improve the look and feel but of course not
many fonts have multiple variants for glyphs grouped in stylistic
alternates so this mechanism is hardly used (only for some arabic).
Yes, I am aware of this, but it is indeed not very obvious from the text.
Thanks for your suggestions,
Jan
