When I code:
abc {\variant[xyz] pqr}
I find extra space typeset between "abc" and "pqr".
This extra space is absent when I code
abc {\variant[xyz]pqr}
Thus the space in the source between ] and pqr makes a difference in
the result.
Clearly visible in:
abc {\variant[xyz] pqr} abc {\variant[xyz]pqr}\crlf
abc {\Var[xyz]pqr} abc {\Var[xyz] pqr}\crlf
I would think that this should not happen.
The whitespace goes away by inserting an \ignorespaces in the variant-
definition.
\def\variant[#1]% slow
{\dosetscaledfont
\expanded{\definedfont
[\truefontname{\fontstringA\fontstylesuffix\fontvariant
\fontstringA{#1}}
at \scaledfont]}\ignorespaces}
Still using version 2005-11-14, forget this if already corrected in
the latest version of the 30th.
before we do that ... do others agree (taco, adam ...)?
we don't want compatibility issues -)
btw, a better sulution is to use \ignoreimplicitspaces:
\def\ignoreimplicitspaces
{\doifnextcharelse\relax\relax\relax}
abc {x\variant[xyz]\space pqr} abc {\variant[xyz]pqr}\crlf
abc {\variant[xyz]\space pqr} abc {\variant[xyz]pqr}\crlf
abc {\variant[xyz] pqr} abc {\variant[xyz]pqr}\crlf
abc {\variant[xyz]{x} pqr} abc {\variant[xyz]pqr}\crlf
otherwise you run into problems with macros that want to insert a space
explicitly
