\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{lmroman10-regular}
\begin{document}
\setlength{\fboxrule}{0pt}
\newcommand\test[1]{\noindent{\framebox[6em][l]{\ttfamily#1:}} {\addfontfeature{LetterSpace=50, Renderer=#1} DOCUMENTATION}\par}
\test{Base}
\test{Node}
\test{Harfbuzz}
\test{OpenType}
\end{document}Note that with OpenType and HarfBuzz the "NT" does not comply with This effect is not limited to Latin Modern; it is also visible in other fonts. |
