I want to keep pdftex unchanged for a while so Martin can make the 1.30 release. The next step might be the subfont scheme for better cjk support. Support for user-defined fonts is more complicated, I don't know when I will do that. Thanh On Wed, Jun 01, 2005 at 10:12:01AM +0200, Hans Hagen wrote:
Hi,
Given those future font capabilities of pdftex (thanh: what happened with your construct fonts on the fly feature?), i wonder if it is possible to add something
\kernfont\somefont
<dimen> Take for instance:
http:\\www.pdftex.org
here the \\ may come out pretty spaced, and space can be saved by something:
\def\url#1{\begingroup\kernfont\font `\ `\ -.2em\relax#1\endgroup}
(i soppose that something like this woudl be possible with thanhs new runtime font feature anyway)
