Hi, while playing around with luatex and ledmac I produced somewhat strange PDF's. This is a minimal example: \pdfcompresslevel=0 \documentclass{article} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{ledmac} \usepackage{MinionPro} \makeatletter \renewcommand*{\do@line}{% {\vbadness=10000 \splittopskip=0pt \do@linehook \l@demptyd@ta \global\setbox\one@line=\vsplit\raw@text to\baselineskip}% \unvbox\one@line \global\setbox\one@line=\lastbox \getline@num \affixline@num \hb@xt@ \linewidth{% \l@dld@ta\add@inserts\affixside@note \l@dlsn@te% left side note {\ledllfill \hb@xt@ \wd\one@line{\new@line\unhbox\one@line}% \ledrlfill\l@drd@ta% \l@drsn@te}% right side note \latelua0{}% <-- This is the new line }% \add@penalties} \makeatother \begin{document} \beginnumbering \pstart \input tufte \pend \endnumbering \end{document} I'm using the commercial Minion Pro font here, because it visualizes the faults of the pdf: The last charakter of each line is overprinted by a crossed rectangle. In case you don't have Minion Pro on your computer, I put the pdf on the web: http://sopos.org/olli/examples/lualedmac.pdf (and http://sopos.org/olli/examples/lualedmac2.pdf for a version done without the \latelua statement). Using lmodern the PDF turns out to be still faulty, though one can't see on screen. I investigated a little bit and took a look into the pdf. The pdf contains extra newlines, which appear *within* the last string of a line (so, if a line ends with »ca-«, the pdf file looks like this: ...-241(c)-3(a- )]TJ...) Here's the beginning of such a pdf file: %PDF-1.4 %ÐÔÅØ 3 0 obj << /Length 2672

Looking in luatex.web, I found that the definition of \latelua contains a line »pdf_print_nl«. Removing this line seems to give the intended behaviour, though it might break something else.
