It might be that I am missing something here. But I don not understand why in the math expression below the spacing behind the letters is different. With this behaviour it seems impossible to name a variable PYR and have it typeset as such. Hans van der Meer \starttext $\tfd Q,Y,N,P,Y,Z

Dear Tom, What version are you using? I am using minimal not TeXlive2010. Of course, there are some bugs in beta. But it would be fixed soon. Moreover, you can have more than one Minimal folder. So it is easy to use stable version if the beta has bugs. BTW, where did you read to use

Just as a last question on the ratio interwordspace/spaceskip: When I read the info from \showpardata. And it says, eg.: lmroman12-regular interwordspace: 3.912pt interwordstretch: 1.956pt inerwordshrink: 1.304pt Does that mean, I would achieve exactly the same (default) by writing this?
