Hi,
LuaTeX does not handle ligature inside \localleftbox / \localrightbox. (I found that \localleftbox{\hbox{<<~}} is OK, but ...) The following source reproduces the problem:
\hsize=300pt \font\x=ec-lmr10\x {<<~\localleftbox{<<~}The original problem to be solved was for fine French typesetting, in which guillemets are placed running down the left side of a paragraph, as in this paragraph, so long as material is being quoted.~>>} Since \TeX\ breaks paragraphs in arbitrary places, it was impossible to develop a robust macro package that could, in a single pass, place the guillemets in the right positions. \bye
The source compiles fine with Aleph. Is this change intended for LuaTeX? if you want the buildes applied, you can wrap the content in a regular hbox
