Hi Aleksander, this is an interesting issue. From my point of view if this affects the display negatively we should try to take kerning into account also for punctuation (for example for commas after words). But i'm not in position to tell you if any modification would affect some other parsing the TeXmacs is doing. Could you describe more your understanding of the relevat code (or simply give me pointers to the relevant functions) so that I can dig a bit on the problem.
