[OS X TeX] More pronounced margin kerning in TL 2004?

[Bruno Voisin]

Hello,

Is it just me, or has the effect of margin kerning been intensified in 
the version of pdfTeX shipped with TL2004? I think there has been on 
this list a message mentioning this, at the time TL2004 was released, 
but I can't find it.

I usually get margin kerning in LaTeX with:

   \input{protcode}
   \newcommand{\setupfont}{
     \setprotcode\font}
   \newcommand{\setupfam}{
     \setupfont
     {\itshape\setupfont}
     {\bfseries\setupfont}
     {\itshape\bfseries\setupfont}
     {\scshape\setupfont}}
   \AtBeginDocument{
     \setupfam
     {\LARGE\setupfam}
     {\large\setupfam}
     {\small\setupfam}
     {\footnotesize\setupfam}
     {\indexsize\setupfam}}
   \pdfprotrudechars=2

(I haven't started experimenting with pdfcprot or microtype yet). But 
using the above I now have the impression, after moving to TL2004, that 
punctuation signs and hyphens protrude more in the right margin than 
they did before. Is it just an illusion?
