What is the reason for installing the latest version of ConTeXt? Is this \showfontkerns only in versions newer than 2012.05.30 11:26 MKIV ?

in that version it was an add-on module, but in the meantime it's in the core

That would explain part of my problems.

If possible, I would like to get the distro version working, before moving to the latest version.

Is this add-on module in some Debian package, or must one install it by hand? If the latter, what would be involved?

I think it was part of a set of modules we used for testing (some ended up in the distribution, some didn't) so i fear that you need a recent context; handy anyway, as things might have been improved and I wonder if there are many context users using an old version, given that luatex / mkiv / mplib / gyre fonts are progressing. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
