while trying to make Taco's linebreaker code I came across some behavior
that I found rather weird
in essense it looks as if \rpcode is not ending up in the char table
unless \lpcode for the same char is set first (and non-zero)
\pdfprotrudechars=1
%\lpcode\font 50 = 1
\rpcode\font 50 = 200
\efcode\font 50 = 333
\directlua{
local function FMItable (name,t)
print ("---- looking at table ", name, tostring(t))
for k, v in pairs(t) do
print(" ", k,"=", tostring(v))
end
print("----------------")
end
FMItable("char 50",font.fonts[font.current()].characters[50])
}
\bye
--------------------
if you uncomment the lpcode line then both values show up. But what is
puzzling me even more is that if I change the values and then run this
directlua bit again, nothing changes (could of course be that I should
define FMItable differently but ...
anybody any clue?
thanks
