Summary: \unhbox kills protrusion
Initial Comment:
Protrusion will break when boxes containing protruded
characters are \unhbox'ed. I've stumbled upon this when
using edmac/ledmac, which decomposes each paragraph
into lines, then reassembling them.
I wasn't sure whether protrusion is supposed to survive
this treatment but it does if one uses \unhcopy instead
of \unhbox.
Here's a greatly reduced example:
%--------------------------------------------
\font\testfont=cmr10 \testfont
\pdfprotrudechars=2
\rpcode\font`\-=1000
\parindent0pt
\hsize=126pt
\newbox\testline
\newbox\testbox
%
\setbox\testbox\vbox{%
Margin kerning is the adjustments
of the characters at the
margins of a typeset text.
}
\loop\ifvbox\testbox
\setbox\testline=\vsplit\testbox to\baselineskip
\unvbox\testline
\setbox\testline=\lastbox
\hbox to\hsize{\unhcopy\testline}% OK
\hbox to\hsize{\unhbox\testline} % not OK
\repeat
\bye
