Re: [Dev-luatex] Preserving unknown keys in cached font table

the problem is this:

when you pass a font to tex it can save the table, in which case you can get it back as-is

however, when you ask for a table the parameters will be rewritten

now, it is indeed arguable, but then it's better *not* to update the parameters at all because after all, other values are also passed as they are (and they can be different too from the known values inside tex, e.g. rounded dimensions) ... so, i'll just remove the whole update which then also means that you don't get the updated parameters ... it's probably not a problem as no sane user will fetch a table for just that

Great, that might be the best solution. Best regards Marcel
