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])
}

--------------------

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?

sure .. the table that you see is a cached one and if you change a rp value after the font definition it is not reflected in there

see page 158 of luatex manual : cache field in passed tfm data tbale

keep in mind that normally one will only set the protrusion values when a font is loaded because once a font is used they are frozen

(currently these values are em related but at some point they might become glyph width related)

\starttext

\directlua{
    function fonts.constructors.aftercopyingcharacters(target,original)
        target.cache = "renew"
    end
}

\pdfprotrudechars=1

\font\foo = LMRoman10-Regular*default,quality at 12.3pt

\foo

\lpcode\foo 45 = 2000\relax
\rpcode\foo 45 = 2000\relax
\efcode\foo 45 = 4000\relax

\directlua{
    print("data at tex end")
    inspect(font.fonts              [font.current()].characters[45])
    print("original passed data")
    inspect(fonts.hashes.identifiers[font.current()].characters[45])
}

test
