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)
Hans
