Dear QE community,

Out of curiosity I have been trying to compute Voronoi charges. This requires 
printing the charge density minus the superposition of atomic densities 
(plot_num 9 of pp.x).

When using the SSSP 1.3.0 efficiency for Pt the PP has a configuration: 5P 6.0, 
5D 9.5, which PWSCF interprets as ’16 valence electrons’.

Anyway, when using critic2, Voronoi charges sum up to the number of Pt atoms 
divided by 2, instead of zero (this does not happen with other PPs), surely 
some half electrons are lost somewhere?

Does this mean that deformation charges are out of reach for this PP?
