for all the levels of sections.

\setupwhitespace[none]. I'd prefer a little bit of white space
between paragraphs, but I tried \setupwhitespace[0.5ex] and
\definemeasure[between][0.25ex] with
\setupwhitespace[\measure{between}], and \setupwhitespace[5pt] but
all those went back to way too much white space between paragraphs.

Any ideas?


Do you have a working minimal example for the problem because when I run 
the following example on my machine there is no extra whitespace.


 begin example
\setuphead
  [chapter,section,subsection,subsubsection]
  [before={\blank[nowhite]},
   after={\blank[nowhite]}]

\setupwhitespace
  [medium]

%\showgrid

\starttext

\completecontent

\chapter{Chapter}

\samplefile{knuth}

\section{Section}

\samplefile{weisman}

\subsection{Subsection}

\samplefile{weisman}

\subsubsection{Subsubsection}

\samplefile{weisman}

\stoptext
 end example

[NTG-context] LMTX running on macOS Catalina; fuzzy paragraphs; unwanted whitespace

Re: [NTG-context] Primes far too high in Lucida Type1

[Tim Steenvoorden]

P.S. Same thing happens with math placed on top of arrows, like here

 $e,\sigma \xrightarrow{i} e',\sigma’$

Like to fix that too.


Cheers,
Tim

[NTG-context] Primes far too high in Lucida Type1

[Tim Steenvoorden]

Hi all,

I’m trying to typeset a document using Lucida Type1 fonts. Primes are put way 
too high. Also, kerning with punctuation characters placed after a prime are 
too wide. This can be seen in attached rendering of below example.

 $e,\sigma \rightarrow e',\sigma’$

Is there a quick way to fix this? I don’t have access tot the OTF 
unfortunately. Running ConTeXt TeXlive 2019 on macOS 10.15.3.

Cheers,
Tim
