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 % -------------------------------------------------- Regards, Robert ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=493&aid=274&group_id=106
