Using pdftex 0.14h, I have now tried two different snapshots on two different platforms (i685 linux and SGI Irix) and find that I need to reduce the [rl]pcode values to about 25% of those that worked with 0.14g (e.g., in enco-pro.tex). My experiments indicate that \pdfprotrudechars=2 should become a normal setting with relatively conservative [rl]pcode values. I often encounter layouts with rather narrow columns. Smoother appearance of the margins is nice, but even more important is that some very bad line breaks disappear without needing to reword the text! -----Original Message----- From: Hans Hagen To: George N. White III; thanh@denicser.let.uu.nl Cc: ntg-context Sent: 12/27/00 8:26 PM Subject: Re: beta and hanging question [...] There has been a small change [not yet in the tex files] in the metrics [em instead of fake design size] that the pdftex binary (version h) uses but this can be no reason for the e sticking into the margin. So, this is something for Thanh. I'll send you my output in a separate mail.
