The first you use the iwona font in your document context has to load the typescript for it from a external files which produces a lot of spaces in the text. When you load the font at the begin of the document with \usetypescriptfile[iwona] \usetypescript[iwona] this doesn’t happen anymore.

Thanks Wolfgang. It's obvious when you think about it, but still unexpected.

This is usually not a problem, since typescripts are loaded in the setup area. Even when loaded within the text area the spaces don't cause problems. Loading an entire file within a box, like I did in the example, is an unusual edge-case and there's a simple workaround, see Wolfgangs answer. Except if there's an easy fix for that, I'm personally fine knowing where the spaces are coming from and how to prevent them, which I do now.

So, it's the price paid for convenience. And, in most cases a bodyfont is not initialized in a \hbox. > regards > Keith. > > Am 28.04.2013 um 22:03 schrieb Marco Patzer <homerow@lavabit.com>: > >> On 2013–04–28 Keith J.
