[NTG-context] fixedspaces sometimes flawed

[Hans van der Meer]

Hi Hans,

In the manual it is claimed for the command \fixedspaces that (4.6 Word spacing)
"After this command the ~ (tilde) generates a tight space with the width of a number."

This turns out to be not true for -at least- the lucida font, cmr gives no trouble (my problem is: I like lbr most):

% the code below gives spaces that are too small
\setupbodyfont[lbr]
{\tt\fixedspaces 0~1~~2~~~3~~~~4~~~~~5\crlf \fixedspaces 0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~5}

% this code gives spaces that are correctly sized
\setupbodyfont[cmr]
{\tt\fixedspaces 0~1~~2~~~3~~~~4~~~~~5\crlf \fixedspaces 0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~5}

Could it be that there is something missing in the font definitions for [lbr] ?
