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] ?
lucida digits have non-equal spaces,
you can try:
%%%%%% in cont-new.tex
\def\fixedspace
{\setbox\scratchbox\hbox\ifmmode{$0$}\else{0}\fi
\hskip\wd\scratchbox\relax}
\appendtoks \fixedspaces \to \everytable
