Ah, that's odd, because I've already defined that and I didn't realize
it fixed the problem (but I was used to type \slash from LaTeX, breaking
the typesetting).
This \setbreakpoints looks like a panacea to me (it already fixed the
hyphen issue some weeks ago, but I didn't know it fixed the slash too).
I'm thinking how to make this information more accessible (because from
my point of view hate/love is not a compound word) on the wiki.
I found this in cont-new.mkiv
% potential new defaults: \setbreakpoints[compound]
Is this going to happen or there are serious reasons not to have it as
default?
Thanks again
