I found a solution.
\startluacode
fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature {
name = "ktest",
type = "kern",
data = {
["t"] = { ["e"] = 500 },
}
}
\stopluacode
\definefontfeature[ktest][ktest=yes]
\definefont[1][Serif*ktest]
\starttext
\1 test \ctxlua{
local fnt = font.current
Dear list,
I am trying to access extra kerning that I have defined using
fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature. Even though I query the kerning from
within a paragraph where the kerning is evidently applied I can't seem
to get the value stored earlier, see the comment in the MWE. What am I
doing wrong?
