Hi Hans,

The example defines two fonts with the same base font. If the
scaled variant is used before the regular one then the latter
will appear scaled as well and the spacing (bboxes?) gets messed
up.

I suspect a relation to this old issue:

   http://tracker.luatex.org/view.php?id=829

but if I substitute “slant” for “extend” the behavior is
different.


indeed a known bug in the backend that will be resolved once that part 
of the code has been cleaned up (extend etc is a seldom used hack so has 
a low priority)

[NTG-context] fake feature “extend” behaving weirdly
