Re: [NTG-context] Space after Round bracket before Punctuation
Thank you Hans, this was very helpful. I found that the following
worked (apart from in two or three cases):
\startluacode
fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature {
name = "iebpkerns",
type = "kern",
data = {
[")"] = {
[","] = -80,
["."] = -80,
[":"] = -80,
[";"] = -80,
[")"] = -80,
["]"] = -80,
},
["]"] = {
[","] = -80,
["."] = -80,
[":"] = -80,
[";"] = -80,
[")"] = -80,
["]"] = -80,
},
},
}
\stopluacode
Best, Richard

you first have to make an MWE that demonstrates how protrusion works
here ... then we can see how we can best deal with it
Anyway, often tricks for this can be found in the test suite of font
manual(s) ... here is a variant ...
\startluacode fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature { name =
"mykerns", type = "kern", data =
{ [")"] = { [","] =
-300, ["."] = -300, [":"] =
-250, [";"] = -250, [")"] =
-100, }, }, }\stopluacode
\definefontfeature[default][default][mykerns=true]
\setupbodyfont [dejavu,12pt]
\startTEXpage[offset=10pt] whatever), whatever): whatever)

[NTG-context] Space after Round bracket before Punctuation
I'm typesetting some proceedings which include a good number of round brackets followed by punctuation. This often occurs in the body of the text, but also in the hand coded bibliographies, e.g.: ) plus . , ; : The trouble is that excessive space is often introduced between the bracket and the punctuation. I can control the excessive space that sometimes occurs between ) and . by using )\periods[1], although this ruins the protrusion if it occurs at the end of a line. Does anyone know how I might be able to somehow "tie" ) to . , ; : so that the distance remains reasonable, and so that protrusion still works?
