no, it's the inter-character kerning (the tiny thingies)

[NTG-context] fullhz, kerning and glue

2022-07-12 Thread Henning Hraban Ramm via ntg-context

Hi,
I just added an explanation of "fullhz" to the options in 
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/setupalign.

but I’m actually unsure if it’s right.

In the sources I found:
https://source.contextgarden.net/tex/context/base/mkxl/hand-ini.mkxl

%D At some point we can introduce extreme expansion, i.e. \type 
{\normaladjustspacing\plustwo}.

56
57% 0 = disabled
58% 1 = notused  (thesis)
59% 2 = glyph + kern
60% 3 = glyph only   (default)
61
62\def\font_expansion_enable  {\normaladjustspacing\plusthree}
63\def\font_expansion_enable_k{\normaladjustspacing\plustwo}
64%def\font_expansion_enable_n{\normaladjustspacing\plusone}
65\def\font_expansion_disable {\normaladjustspacing\zerocount}

And "fullhz" in spac-ali.mkxl calls \font_expansion_enable_k.

So, apparently fullhz enables stretching of *kerning* – that sounds to 
me like letterspacing.


OTOH in my notes (and thus in my book) I have the information that 
fullhz enables stretching of *glue*, and I thought that would mean 
whitespace outside of words.


Please enlighten me?

Hraban
