Category: hz Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 7 Submitted By: Nobody (None) Assigned to: The Thanh Han (hanthethanh) Summary: character protrusion: pdftex may hang
Initial Comment: pdfTeX will fail on the following LaTeX file: ---------------------------------------------------- \pdfprotrudechars 2 \documentclass{minimal} \begin{document} \fontsize{7}{8}\selectfont This paragraph consists of more than two lines. This paragraph consists of more than two lines. This paragraph consists of more than two lines. %% same for this paragraph: % This is \hfill an empty line \end{document} ---------------------------------------------------- pdfTeX will hang while building the paragraph, so it seems. This does not happen with other font sizes. Also, it somehow seems to depend on the fonts preloaded in the format file. If I change this line in preload.ltx: \DeclarePreloadSizes{OT1}{cmr}{m}{n}{5,7,10} so that the font for size 10 will be loaded first, and recreate the format, all is well. I am using: This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.20a-2.2 (MiKTeX 2.4)) Regards, Robert. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=493&aid=116&group_id=106
