What ist the correlation between 'punctuation', 'alpha' and 'def'????
???
hanging punctuation is the traditional simple model of - , ; : . and ! hanging into the margin; pdftex goes beyond that and let's you hang any char into the margin, so this is why we speak of character protruding;
fonthandling in context is currently used for hanging things but can be used for anything font related; the alpha, def etc setups are more or less derived from my personal prferences, thanh's thesis etc What you use all depends on your taste
I have understand this, but I am still looking for docus to the 'fonthandler'-commands, becaus I don't understand how this mechanism works. The reason, why I am interesting in fonthandlers, was: To correct the lowerleftdoubleninequote-problem with cmr. To be honest, I am asking myself why this is not working out of the box, because cmr is TeX's standardfont. Anyway, it's good to learn something about fonthandlers and so. So, were are the doc's?

in that case: grep the base path for guillemots since these are implemented by means of fonthandlers in the aer fonts; with regards to quotes, it may make sense to switch from cmr to aer; also, there is the latin modern coming, which will bring you all the quotes and chars you need [the latin modern family is officially launched at the next dante meeting] Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------
