Re: [NTG-context] Primes far too high in Lucida Type1
Hi Wolfgang,
That 's a pity indeed. I played around a bit and found a dirty hack
using catcodes. Maybe not the best solution, but it works for me.
Posting it here for future reference.
```
\define\textprime{'}
\makecharacteractive '
\define'{\lowerbox{0.3ex}\hbox{\math{\textprime}}}
```
Cheers,
Tim

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

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