Message: Logged In: YES user_id=710 oops, I disabled ligature for letter-spaced font, but this should not affect the base font. Will have to rethink. Most likely the syntax will change like follows: \letterspacefont\f=cmr10 at 11pt 100 \f text ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Robert (schlcht) Date: 2006-12-12 15:50 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=2217 % and here's % (4) ligatures will be broken up, not only in the % letter-spaced font (which is probably acceptable), % but in all subsequent uses of the base font, too fi\par {\letterspacefont\lspfont=\font 100 \lspfont fi}\par fi \bye ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: The Thanh Han (hanthethanh) Date: 2006-12-12 13:31 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=710 I fixed (1) and (2); (3) is disabled now, ie you cannot expand a letter-spaced font. Please wait for another release from Martin. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=493&aid=712&group_id=106
