Spacing problem (mixing Chinese with Latin characters)

Spacing problem (mixing Chinese with Latin characters)

[Tobias Burnus]

Hello,

if I type "[<chinese>]" the output is "[<chinese><space>]". (Example 
attached.)
I addition I observed that "<chinese>;" will have a line break like 
"<chinese><new line>;" which looks quite ugly.
(The ";" and "[]" are half-width Characters, i.e. the normal Latin 
characters and not those which are as wide as a Chinese character.

Question: In the transliterization of Chinese the characters
 \definecharacter acaron           {\buildtextaccent\textcaron a} % U+01CE
 \definecharacter icaron           {\buildtextaccent\textcaron 
\dotlessi} % Unicode U+01D0
 \definecharacter ocaron           {\buildtextaccent\textcaron o} % U+01D2
 \definecharacter ucaron           {\buildtextaccent\textcaron u} % U+01D4
appear which are in the unicode block "Latin Extended B". Should/Could 
they be added?

ok, i added those to enco-def (those then also need to go into the lm 
complient fonts)

Here it is. One has too look closely to the spacing, but the " " before 
"]" is clearly visible.
I had also the problem in a mixed text (lot of Latin characters, Chinese 
character + ";" that there was a line break before the ";".

seems that there is a problem with lookahead and testing

i'll send you a quick hack
