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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody (None) Date: 2004-10-14 18:41 Message: Logged In: NO I have also had this problem with v1.10a and v1.20a. The problem only occurs with \pdfprotrudechars=2 (not when it is 1). Changing the font-size sometimes fixes it, as does changing the font encoding (presumably this alters the line breaking sufficiently not to bring about the specific conditions that cause the hang). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Hartmut Henkel (hhenkel) Date: 2004-09-17 03:48 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=929 seems it's a loop in hz.ch, function total_pw(), always returning to the reswitch: label. I don't know what's going on, but supposing that the current line loop or whatever should end when the post_break(l) is reached, just shifting the goto reswitch; to this place: decr(n); end; goto reswitch; end; end; total_pw := left_pw(l) + right_pw(r); end; seems to make it work. No idea how to test it... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=493&aid=116&group_id=106
