\pdfactualtext and \char

\pdfactualtext and \char

[Henri Menke]

Dear list,

\pdfactualtext behaves oddly when the argument is \char.

\starttext
\pdfactualtext{\char`A}{B}
\stoptext

In the example, the actual text in the PDF is »A« even though it should be »B«.  If I just use \pdfactualtext{A}{B} it works fine.

Cheers, Henri

You need a space after the "A".

\starttext
\pdfactualtext{\char`A }{B}
\stoptext
