After a long lull, I have installed a recent Context (ver: 2004.6.30)
and find that my typescripts that do margin kerning are having trouble.
Invoking a typescript that uses \defineprotrudefactor will cause the job
to stop; I don't see any error messages. When the problem line is
commented out the job completes.
I've attached a minimal example.

i've been messing around with that because thanh is updating his stuff; i need to handle both hz and protruding and more -)
I just got a working pdftex from him so i can now test further

I must ask: would this mean adding Context support for the font
expansion mentioned in his thesis? I've wanted to experiment with that
but as far as I can tell it has previously required too much (for
me) font manipulation outside of tex.

It is true that generating extended font metrics (e.g. cmr10+5.tfm) was
a bit deterrent thing for pdfTeX users.
It was the reason that Thanh enabled (some months ago) use hz WITHOUT a
need of generating extended metrics. But there was some problems with
this pdftex version so it coused some delay. Now I believe it will be
reflected in ConTeXt support. (I do not know what Hans thinks by "and
more" but I reckon he means some code clean up).
After that we will need:
1) new ConTeXt
2) new pdftex binary

indeed, but just wait for a few weeks (there will be a new pdftex release soon)
concerning the more: think of combining hz and protruding, turning things on and off, etc

the next release of pdftex will do things automatically, so you don't need to define all those special tfm files any more; context will provide a mechanism for controling things (works ok as far as i can test)
