[lltx] Italic correction for upright fonts

[jfbu]

Hi all,

In <http://tug.org/mailman/htdig/lualatex-dev/2011-March/001152.html> there was some discussion of the italic correction.

As far as I understand {RawFeature=+itlc} is now done by fontspec.

I am curious about the status of upright fonts. The following code snippet:

\documentclass{article}
% compile either with lualatex or pdflatex
\usepackage{iftex}
\ifLuaTeX % for pdf output
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont[Ligatures=TeX]{TeX Gyre Termes}
\else
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{tgtermes}
\fi
\begin{document}
efg

e\/f\/g

\itshape

efg

e\/f\/g
\end{document}

gives divergent results if compiled with luatex or pdftex.

In the latter case, we see that the upright font does have
some italic corrections. The luatex compilation does display
the italic correction in the italic font. It does not for
the upright font.

I tried adding the Rawfeature=+itlc to the roman font features,
to no avail (my hope was that fontspec did it automatically 
only for the italic features)

Perhaps it just does not make sense to hope find italic correction
data in a roman opentype font? (sorry, but I know nothing about fonts.)

Regards,

Jean-Francois
